Open English Bible (OEB)English
Elberfelder Bibel (ELB)Deutsch
Und überdies: Der Wein ist treulos; der übermütige Mann, der bleibt nicht, er, der seinen Schlund weit aufsperrt wie der Scheol, und er ist wie der Tod und wird nicht satt; und er rafft an sich alle Nationen und sammelt zu sich alle Völker.
Reina-Valera (RV)Español
Y también, por cuanto peca por el vino, es un hombre soberbio, y no permanecerá: que ensanchó como el infierno su alma, y es como la muerte, que no se hartará: antes reunió á sí todas las gentes, y amontonó á sí todos los pueblos.
Bíblia Livre (BL)Português
Pois também o vinho é enganador, é como um homem arrogante, que não fica quieto em casa; seu apetite se alarga como o mundo dos mortos, e é semelhante à morte, que não se farta; e ajunta a si todas as nações, e reúne a si todos os povos.
Nova Versão (NVA)Português
Assim como o vinho é traiçoeiro, o homem arrogante também não permanece. A sua ganância é como a morte, que nunca está satisfeita. Ele ajunta para si todas as nações e recolhe para si todos os povos.

3For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
4Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
5Yea 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:
6Shall 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!
7Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?
