Habakkuk 2:6

[Throughout history, people have wondered about the evil in the world. Habakkuk has asked God questions. At first, it was about the evil in Judah, see Hab. 1:2–4. Later, he wonders how God can allow Babylon to invade a nation that is, in comparison, at least more righteous, see Hab. 1:12–17. Habakkuk realizes that God is almighty and has control over what happens, see Jer. 1:11–12.
The following passage is like a song sung by the nations that have suffered from Babylon's violence. The five woes all begin with a taunt (verses 6, 9, 12, 15, 19a), continue with a threat (verses 7, 11, 13, 16, 20), followed by criticism (verses 8, 10, 14, 17-19b).]
Shall not all these take up a proverb against him
and mock him scornfully, saying,
Woe to him who increases what is not his! Woe to him who multiplies what is not his! How long?
And who burdens himself with heavy debts [alternative translation: many promises]!
