What does Habakkuk 2:5 mean?

Wealth is a liar. The greedy person is never satisfied—he’s like death, always wanting more. He gathers up nations and collects people for himself, but it’s never enough. Habakkuk 2:5 - Modern Text Bible

(Greed and ambition are insatiable; the oppressor keeps conquering but is never content, always wanting more.)
