ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,

as the waters cover the sea.

Copyright (c) 1985-2007

Habakkuk 1

1. The burden <4853> which <0834> Habakkuk <2265> the prophet

<5030> did see <2372>.

2 O LORD <3068>, how <5704> long <5704> shall I cry <7768>, and

thou wilt not hear <8085>! [even] cry <2199> out unto thee [of]

violence <2555>, and thou wilt not save <3467>!

3 Why <4100> dost thou shew <7200> me iniquity <0205>, and

cause [me] to behold <5027> grievance <5999>? for spoiling

<7701> and violence <2555> [are] before <5048> me: and there are

[that] raise <5375> up strife <7379> and contention <4066>.

4 Therefore the law <8451> is slacked <6313>, and judgment

<4941> doth never go <3318> forth <3318>: for the wicked <7563>

doth compass <3803> about the righteous <6662>; therefore wrong

<6127> judgment <4941> proceedeth <3318>.

5. Behold <7200> ye among the heathen <1471>, and regard <5027>,

and wonder <8539> marvellously <8539>: for [I] will work <6466>

a work <6467> in your days <3117>, [which] ye will not believe

<0539>, though <3588> it be told <5608> [you].

6 For, lo <2009>, I raise <6965> up the Chaldeans <3778>,

[that] bitter <4751> and hasty <4116> nation <1471>, which shall

march <1980> through the breadth <4800> of the land <0776>, to

possess <0423> the dwellingplaces <4908> [that are] not theirs.

7 They [are] terrible <0366> and dreadful <3372>: their

judgment <4941> and their dignity <7613> shall proceed <3318> of

themselves.

8 Their horses <5483> also are swifter <7043> than the leopards

<5246>, and are more fierce <2300> than the evening <6153>

wolves <2061>: and their horsemen <6571> shall spread <6335>

themselves, and their horsemen <6571> shall come <0935> from far

<7350>; they shall fly <5774> as the eagle <5404> [that] hasteth

<2363> to eat <0398>.

9 They shall come <0935> all <3605> for violence <2555>: their

faces <6440> shall sup <4041> up [as] the east <6921> wind, and

they shall gather <0622> the captivity <7628> as the sand <2344>.

10 And they shall scoff <7046> at the kings <4428>, and the

princes <7336> shall be a scorn <4890> unto them: they shall

deride <7832> every <3605> strong <4013> hold <4013>; for they

shall heap <6651> dust <6083>, and take <3920> it.

11 Then <0227> shall [his] mind <7307> change <2498>, and he

shall pass <5674> over <5674>, and offend <0816>, [imputing]

this <2098> his power <3581> unto his god <0430>.

12. [Art] thou not from everlasting <6924>, O LORD <3068> my

God <0430>, mine Holy <6918> One <6918>? we shall not die <4191>.

O LORD <3068>, thou hast ordained <7760> them for judgment

<4941>; and, O mighty <6697> God <6697>, thou hast established

<3245> them for correction <3198>.

13 [Thou art] of purer <2889> eyes <5869> than to behold <7200>

evil <7451>, and canst <3201> not look <5027> on <0413> iniquity

<5999>: wherefore <4100> lookest <5027> thou upon them that deal

treacherously <0898>, [and] holdest <2790> thy tongue <2790>

when the wicked <7563> devoureth <1104> [the man that is] more

righteous <6662> than he?

14 And makest <6213> men <0120> as the fishes <1709> of the sea

<3220>, as the creeping <7431> things, [that have] no <3808>

ruler <4910> over them?

15 They take <5927> up all <3605> of them with the angle <2443>,

they catch <1641> them in their net <2764>, and gather <0622>

them in their drag <4365>: therefore they rejoice <8055> and are

glad <1523>.

16 Therefore they sacrifice <2076> unto their net <2764>, and

burn <6999> incense <6999> unto their drag <4365>; because

<3588> by them their portion <2506> [is] fat <8082>, and their

meat <3978> plenteous <1277>.

17 Shall they therefore <3651> empty <7324> their net <2764>,

and not spare <2550> continually <8548> to slay <2026> the

nations <1471>?

Habakkuk 2

1. I will stand <5975> upon my watch <4931>, and set <3320> me

upon the tower <4692>, and will watch <6822> to see <7200> what

<4100> he will say <1696> unto me, and what <4100> I shall

answer <7725> when <5921> I am reproved <8433>.

2 And the LORD <3068> answered <6030> me, and said <0559>,

Write <3789> the vision <2377>, and make [it] plain <0874> upon

tables <3871>, that he may run <7323> that readeth <7121> it.

3 For the vision <2377> [is] yet <5750> for an appointed <4150>

time, but at the end <7093> it shall speak <6315>, and not lie

<3576>: though <0518> it tarry <4102>, wait <2442> for it;

because <3588> it will surely come <0935>, it will not tarry

<0309>.

4 Behold <2009>, his soul <5315> [which] is lifted <6075> up is

not upright <3474> in him: but the just <6662> shall live <2421>

by his faith <0530>.

5. Yea <0637> also <0637>, because <3588> he transgresseth

<0898> by wine <3196>, [he is] a proud <3093> man <1397>,

neither <3808> keepeth at home <5115>, who <0834> enlargeth

<7337> his desire <5315> as hell <7585>, and [is] as death

<4194>, and cannot <3808> be satisfied <7646>, but gathereth

<0622> unto him all <3605> nations <1471>, and heapeth <6908>

unto him all <3605> people <5971>:

6 Shall not all <3605> these <0428> take <5375> up a parable

<4912> against <5921> him, and a taunting <4426> proverb <2420>

against him, and say <0559>, Woe <1945> to him that increaseth

<7235> [that which is] not his! how <5704> long <5704>? and to

him that ladeth <3515> himself with thick clay <5671>!

7 Shall they not rise <6965> up suddenly <6621> that shall bite

<5391> thee, and awake <6974> that shall vex <2111> thee, and

thou shalt be for booties <4933> unto them?

8 Because <3588> thou hast spoiled <7997> many <7227> nations

<1471>, all <3605> the remnant <3499> of the people <5971> shall

spoil <7701> thee; because <3588> of men's <0120> blood <1818>,

and [for] the violence <2555> of the land <0776>, of the city

<7151>, and of all <3605> that dwell <3427> therein.

9 Woe <1945> to him that coveteth <1214> an evil <7451>

covetousness <1215> to his house <1004>, that he may set <7760>

his nest <7064> on high <4791>, that he may be delivered <5337>

from the power <3709> of evil <7451>!

10 Thou hast consulted <3289> shame <1322> to thy house <1004>

by cutting <7096> off many <7227> people <5971>, and hast sinned

<2398> [against] thy soul <5315>.

11 For the stone <68> shall cry <2199> out of the wall <7023>,

and the beam <3714> out of the timber <6086> shall answer <6030>

it.

12 Woe <1945> to him that buildeth <1129> a town <5892> with

blood <1818>, and stablisheth <3559> a city <7151> by iniquity

<5766>!

13 Behold <2009>, [is it] not of the LORD <3068> of hosts

<6635> that the people <5971> shall labour <3021> in the very

<1767> fire <0784>, and the people <3816> shall weary <3286>

themselves for very <1767> vanity <7385>?

14 For the earth <0776> shall be filled <4390> with the

knowledge <3045> of the glory <3519> of the LORD <3068>, as the

waters <4325> cover <3680> the sea <3220>.

15. Woe <1945> unto him that giveth his neighbour <7453> drink

<8248>, that puttest <5596> thy bottle <2573> to [him], and

makest [him] drunken <7937> also <0637>, that thou mayest look

<5027> on <5921> their nakedness <4589>!

16 Thou art filled <7646> with shame <7036> for glory <3519>:

drink <8354> thou also <1571>, and let thy foreskin <6188> be

uncovered: the cup <3563> of the LORD'S <3068> right <3225> hand

<3225> shall be turned <5437> unto thee, and shameful <7022>

spewing <7022> [shall be] on <5921> thy glory <3519>.

17 For the violence <2555> of Lebanon <3844> shall cover <3680>

thee, and the spoil <0962> of beasts <0929>, [which] made them

afraid <2865>, because of men's <0120> blood <1818>, and for the

violence <2555> of the land <0776>, of the city <7151>, and of

all <3605> that dwell <3427> therein.

18 What <4100> profiteth <3276> the graven <6459> image that

the maker <3335> thereof hath graven <6458> it; the molten

<4541> image, and a teacher <3384> of lies <8267>, that the

maker <3335> of his work <3336> trusteth <0982> therein <5921>,

to make <6213> dumb <0483> idols <0457>?

19 Woe <1945> unto him that saith <0559> to the wood <6086>,

Awake <6974>; to the dumb <1748> stone <68>, Arise <5782>, it

shall teach <3384>! Behold <2009>, it [is] laid <8610> over with

gold <2091> and silver <3701>, and [there is] no <0369> breath

<7307> at all <3605> in the midst <7130> of it.

20 But the LORD <3068> [is] in his holy <6944> temple <1964>:

let all <3605> the earth <0776> keep silence <2013> before

<6440> him.

Habakkuk 3

1. A prayer <8605> of Habakkuk <2265> the prophet <5030> upon

Shigionoth <7692>.

2 O LORD <3068>, I have heard <8085> thy speech <8088>, [and]

was afraid <3372>: O LORD <3068>, revive <2421> thy work <6467>

in the midst <7130> of the years <8141>, in the midst <7130> of

the years <8141> make known <3045>; in wrath <7267> remember

<2142> mercy <7355>.

3. God <0433> came <0935> from Teman <8487>, and the Holy

<6918> One <6918> from mount <2022> Paran <6290>. Selah <5542>.

His glory <1935> covered <3680> the heavens <8064>, and the

earth <0776> was full <4390> of his praise <8416>.

4 And [his] brightness <5051> was as the light <0216>; he had

<1961> horns <7161> [coming] out of his hand <3027>: and there

<8033> [was] the hiding <2253> of his power <5797>.

5 Before <6440> him went <3212> the pestilence <1698>, and

burning <7565> coals <7565> went <3318> forth <3318> at his feet

<7272>.

6 He stood <5975>, and measured <4128> the earth <0776>: he

beheld <7200>, and drove <5425> asunder the nations <1471>; and

the everlasting <5703> mountains <2042> were scattered <6327>,

the perpetual <5769> hills <1389> did bow <7817>: his ways

<1979> [are] everlasting <5769>.

7 I saw <7200> the tents <0168> of Cushan <3572> in affliction

<0205>: [and] the curtains <3407> of the land <0776> of Midian

<4080> did tremble <7264>.

8 Was the LORD <3068> displeased <2734> against the rivers

<5104>? [was] thine anger <0639> against the rivers <5104>?

[was] thy wrath <5678> against the sea <3220>, that thou didst

ride <7392> upon thine horses <5483> [and] thy chariots <4818>

of salvation <3444>?

9 Thy bow <7198> was made quite <6181> naked <5783>,

[according] to the oaths <7621> of the tribes <4294>, [even thy]

word <0562>. Selah <5542>. Thou didst cleave <1234> the earth

<0776> with rivers <5104>.

10 The mountains <2022> saw <7200> thee, [and] they trembled

<2342>: the overflowing <2230> of the water <4325> passed <5674>

by: the deep <8415> uttered <5414> his voice <6963>, [and]

lifted <5375> up his hands <3027> on high <7315>.

11 The sun <8121> [and] moon <3394> stood <5975> still in their

habitation <2073>: at the light <0216> of thine arrows <2671>

they went <1980>, [and] at the shining <5051> of thy glittering

<1300> spear <2595>.

12 Thou didst march <6805> through the land <0776> in

indignation <2195>, thou didst thresh <1758> the heathen <1471>

in anger <0639>.

13 Thou wentest <3318> forth <3318> for the salvation <3468> of

thy people <5971>, [even] for salvation <3468> with thine

anointed <4899>; thou woundedst <4272> the head <7218> out of

the house <1004> of the wicked <7563>, by discovering <6168> the

foundation <3247> unto the neck <6676>. Selah <5542>.

14 Thou didst strike <5344> through with his staves <4294> the

head <7218> of his villages <6518>: they came out as a whirlwind

<5590> to scatter <6327> me: their rejoicing <5951> [was] as to

devour <0398> the poor <6041> secretly <4565>.

15 Thou didst walk <1869> through the sea <3220> with thine

horses <5483>, [through] the heap <2563> of great <7227> waters

<4325>.

16. When I heard <8085>, my belly <0990> trembled <7364>; my

lips <8193> quivered <6750> at the voice <6963>: rottenness

<7538> entered <0935> into my bones <6106>, and I trembled

<7264> in myself, that I might rest <5117> in the day <3117> of

trouble <6869>: when he cometh <5927> up unto the people <5971>,

he will invade <1464> them with his troops.

17 Although <0272> the fig <8384> tree shall not blossom <6524>,

neither <0369> [shall] fruit <2981> [be] in the vines <1612>;

the labour <4639> of the olive <2132> shall fail <3584>, and the

fields <7709> shall yield <6213> no <3808> meat <0400>; the

flock <6629> shall be cut <1504> off from the fold <4356>, and

[there shall be] no <3808> herd <1241> in the stalls <7517>:

18 Yet I will rejoice <5937> in the LORD <3068>, I will joy

<1523> in the God <0430> of my salvation <3468>.

19 The LORD <3068> God <0136> [is] my strength <2428>, and he

will make <7760> my feet <7272> like hinds <0355>' [feet <7272>],

and he will make me to walk <1869> upon mine high <1116> places.
