HAB-1:1 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
HAB-1:2 O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear!
[even] cry out unto thee [of] violence, and thou wilt not save!
HAB-1:3 Why dost thou show me iniquity, and cause [me] to behold
grievance? for spoiling and violence [are] before me: and there
are [that] raise up strife and contention.
HAB-1:4 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go
forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous;
therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.
HAB-1:5 Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder
marvellously: for [I] will work a work in your days, [which] ye
will not believe, though it be told [you].
HAB-1:6 For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, [that] bitter and
hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land,
to possess the dwellingplaces [that are] not theirs.
HAB-1:7 They [are] terrible and dreadful: their judgment and
their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
HAB-1:8 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are
more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall
spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they
shall fly as the eagle [that] hasteth to eat.
HAB-1:9 They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup
up [as] the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as
the sand.
HAB-1:10 And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes
shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold;
for they shall heap dust, and take it.
HAB-1:11 Then shall [his] mind change, and he shall pass over,
and offend, [imputing] this his power unto his god.
HAB-1:12 [Art] thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine
Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for
judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for
correction.
HAB-1:13 [Thou art] of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst
not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal
treacherously, [and] holdest thy tongue when the wicked
devoureth [the man that is] more righteous than he?
HAB-1:14 And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the
creeping things, [that have] no ruler over them?
HAB-1:15 They take up all of them with the angle, they catch
them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they
rejoice and are glad.
HAB-1:16 Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn
incense unto their drag; because by them their portion [is] fat,
and their meat plenteous.
HAB-1:17 Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare
continually to slay the nations?
