HAB 01:01 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
HAB 01:02 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 01:03 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 01:04 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never
go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous;
therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.
HAB 01:05 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 01:06 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 01:07 They [are] terrible and dreadful: their judgment and
their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
HAB 01:08 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 01:09 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 01:10 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 01:11 Then shall [his] mind change, and he shall pass over,
and offend, [imputing] this his power unto his god.
HAB 01:12 [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 01:13 [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 01:14 And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the
creeping things, [that have] no ruler over them?
HAB 01:15 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 01:16 Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn
incense unto their drag; because by them their portion [is] fat,
and their meat plenteous.
HAB 01:17 Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare
continually to slay the nations?
HAB 02:01 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower,
and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall
answer when I am reproved.
HAB 02:02 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision,
and make [it] plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
HAB 02:03 For 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.
HAB 02:04 Behold, his soul [which] is lifted up is not upright
in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
HAB 02:05 Yea 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:
HAB 02:06 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!
HAB 02:07 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee,
and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties
unto them?
HAB 02:08 Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the
remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood,
and [for] the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that
dwell therein.
HAB 02:09 Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his
house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be
delivered from the power of evil!
HAB 02:10 Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off
many people, and hast sinned [against] thy soul.
HAB 02:11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam
out of the timber shall answer it.
HAB 02:12 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and
stablisheth a city by iniquity!
HAB 02:13 Behold, [is it] not of the LORD of hosts that the
people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary
themselves for very vanity?
HAB 02:14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of
the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
HAB 02:15 Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that
puttest thy bottle to [him], and makest [him] drunken also, that
thou mayest look on their nakedness!
HAB 02:16 Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also,
and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD'S right
hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing [shall be]
on thy glory.
HAB 02:17 For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the
spoil of beasts, [which] made them afraid, because of men's
blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all
that dwell therein.
HAB 02:18 What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof
hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that
the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?
HAB 02:19 Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the
dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it [is] laid over
with gold and silver, and [there is] no breath at all in the
midst of it.
HAB 02:20 But the LORD [is] in his holy temple: let all the
earth keep silence before him.
HAB 03:01 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.
HAB 03:02 O LORD, I have heard thy speech, [and] was afraid: O
LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of
the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.
HAB 03:03 God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran.
Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of
his praise.
HAB 03:04 And [his] brightness was as the light; he had horns
[coming] out of his hand: and there [was] the hiding of his
power.
HAB 03:05 Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went
forth at his feet.
HAB 03:06 He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove
asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were
scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways [are]
everlasting.
HAB 03:07 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: [and] the
curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
HAB 03:08 Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? [was]
