Habakkuk 2:6
Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!
KJV
Numquid non omnes isti super eum parabolam sument, et loquelam ænigmatum ejus, et dicetur : Væ ei qui multiplicat non sua ? usquequo et aggravat contra se densum lutum ?
Vulgate
οὐχὶ ταῦτα πάντα παραβολὴν κατ’ αὐτοῦ λήμψονται καὶ πρόβλημα εἰς διήγησιν αὐτοῦ; καὶ ἐροῦσιν Οὐαὶ ὁ πληθύνων ἑαυτῷ τὰ οὐκ ὄντα αὐτοῦ· ἕως τίνος; καὶ βαρύνων τὸν κλοιὸν αὐτοῦ στιβαρῶς.
LXX
Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and that ladeth himself with pledges!
