Habakkuk 2:4-5 (HCSB)

Look, his ego is inflated; he is without integrity. But the righteous one will live by his faith. Moreover, wine betrays; an arrogant man is never at rest. He enlarges his appetite like Sheol, and like Death he is never satisfied. He gathers all the nations to himself; he collects all the peoples for himself.

Living by Faith

- The arrogant

- Take confidence in themselves alone

- Are never satisfied

- More is never enough

- The righteous

- Live by faith alone

- Place their confidence in God alone
