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?
HAB-2:1 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-2:2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision,
and make [it]
plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
HAB-2:3 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-2:4 Behold, his soul [which] is lifted up is not upright in
him: but the
just shall live by his faith.
HAB-2:5 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-2:6 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-2:7 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-2:8 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-2:9 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-2:10 Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off
many people,
and hast sinned [against] thy soul.
HAB-2:11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam
out of the
timber shall answer it.
HAB-2:12 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and
stablisheth a city
by iniquity!
HAB-2:13 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-2:14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of
