Habakkuk 2:5
Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:
KJV
Et quomodo vinum potantem decipit, sic erit vir superbus, et non decorabitur : qui dilatavit quasi infernus animam suam, et ipse quasi mors, et non adimpletur : et congregabit ad se omnes gentes, et coacervabit ad se omnes populos.
Vulgate
ὁ δὲ κατοιόμενος καταφρονητής· οὐδὲν μὴ περάνῃ· ὃς ἐπλάτυνεν καθὼς ᾅδης τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὗτος ὡς θάνατος οὐκ ἐμπιπλάμενος, καὶ ἐπισυνάξει ἐπ’ αὐτὸν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ εἰσδέξεται πρὸς αὐτὸν πάντας τοὺς λαούς.
LXX
Yea, moreover, wine is treacherous, a haughty man, that keepeth not at home; who enlargeth his desire as Sheol, and he is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all peoples.
