Hab. 2:5 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Hab. 2:4      Hab. 2:6

Habakkuk 2:5

Moreover, wine is a treacherous (unfaithful) acquaintance,
the proud man will not endure. [Prov 20:1]
He who has great desires is like Sheol (the underworld, the place of the dead),
yes, like death, he is never satisfied
but gathers countries
and accumulates people on high.
[The proverbial expression about wine is a little unexpected here, yet very fitting, and is often linked to arrogance, lust, and social injustice throughout the Bible, see 1 Sam. 30:16; Prov 31:4–7; Isa. 5:11–12, 22–23; Amos 6:6. The Babylonians themselves were also overthrown during a wild party where alcohol flowed freely, see Dan. 5. This type of drunkenness has been confirmed as characteristic of the Babylonians.]

ὁ δὲ κατοινωμένος καὶ καταφρονητὴς ἀνὴρ ἀλαζών οὐδὲν μὴ περάνῃ ὃς ἐπλάτυνεν καθὼς ὁ ᾅδης τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ οὗτος ὡς θάνατος οὐκ ἐμπιπλάμενος καὶ ἐπισυνάξει ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη καὶ εἰσδέξεται πρὸς αὐτὸν πάντας τοὺς λαούς
