Además, el vino traiciona al hombre arrogante,
de modo que no se queda en casa.

y es como la muerte, que nunca se sacia;
reùne para sì todas las naciones,
y recoge para sì todos los pueblos.

Habakkuk 2:5 - The Message

"Note well: Money deceives.
   The arrogant rich don’t last.
They are more hungry for wealth
   than the grave is for cadavers.
Like death, they always want more,
   but the ’more’ they get is dead bodies.
They are cemeteries filled with dead nations,
   graveyards filled with corpses.
Don’t give people like this a second thought.
   Soon the whole world will be taunting them:
