And also, because the wine <FI>is<Fi> treacherous, A man is haughty, and remaineth not at home, Who hath enlarged as sheol his soul, And is as death that is not satisfied, And doth gather unto itself all the nations, And doth assemble unto itself all the peoples,
Habakkuk 2:3 For yet the vision <FI>is<Fi> for a season, And it breatheth for the end, and doth not lie, If it tarry, wait for it, For surely it cometh, it is not late.
Habakkuk 2:4 Lo, a presumptuous one! Not upright is his soul within him, And the righteous by his stedfastness liveth.
Habakkuk 2:5 And also, because the wine <FI>is<Fi> treacherous, A man is haughty, and remaineth not at home, Who hath enlarged as sheol his soul, And is as death that is not satisfied, And doth gather unto itself all the nations, And doth assemble unto itself all the peoples,
Habakkuk 2:6 Do not these--all of them--against him a simile taken up, And a moral of acute sayings for him, And say, Woe <FI>to<Fi> him who is multiplying <FI>what is<Fi> not his? Till when also is he multiplying to himself heavy pledges?
Habakkuk 2:7 Do not thy usurers instantly rise up, And those shaking thee awake up, And thou hast been for a spoil to them?
The verse centers on "wine", "treacherous", "haughty", "remaineth", "home", "hath", "enlarged", and "sheol". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "wine" and "treacherous", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 4's "Lo a presumptuous one Not upright is..." into verse 6's "Do not these--all of them--against him a...", so "wine" and "treacherous" belong inside that flow. In Habakkuk context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "wine" and "treacherous" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
