 as the waters cover the sea.

11 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see .


  • 12 O LORD how long shall I cry and thou wilt not hear even cry
  • out unto thee of violence and thou wilt not save .
  • 13 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 .
  • 14 Therefore the law is slacked and judgment doth never go
  • forth for the wicked doth compass about the righteous therefore
  • wrong judgment proceedeth .
  • 15 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 .
  • 16 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 .
  • 17 They are terrible and dreadful their judgment and their
  • dignity shall proceed of themselves .
  • 18 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 .
  • 19 They shall come all for violence their faces shall sup up
  • as the east wind and they shall gather the captivity as the sand
  • .
  • 110 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 .
  • 111 Then shall his mind change and he shall pass over and
  • offend imputing this his power unto his god .
  • 112 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 .
  • 113 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 .
  • 114 And makest men as the fishes of the sea as the creeping
  • things that have no ruler over them .
  • 115 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 .
  • 116 Therefore they sacrifice unto their net and burn incense
  • unto their drag because by them their portion is fat and their
  • meat plenteous .
  • 117 Shall they therefore empty their net and not spare
  • continually to slay the nations .
  • * 21 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 .
  • 22 And the LORD answered me and said Write the vision and make
  • it plain upon tables that he may run that readeth it .
  • 23 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 .
  • 24 Behold his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him
  • but the just shall live by his faith .
  • 25 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 .
  • 26 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 .
  • 27 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee and
  • awake that shall vex thee and thou shalt be for booties unto
  • them .
  • 28 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 .
  • 29 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 .
  • 210 Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many
  • people and hast sinned against thy soul .
  • 211 For the stone shall cry out of the wall and the beam out
  • of the timber shall answer it .
  • 212 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood and stablisheth
  • a city by iniquity .
  • 213 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 .
  • 214 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the
  • glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea .
  • 215 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 .
  • 216 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 .
  • 217 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 .
  • 218 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 .
  • 219 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 .
  • 220 But the LORD is in his holy temple let all the earth keep
  • silence before him .
  • * 31 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth .
  • 32 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 .
  • 33 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 .
  • 34 And his brightness was as the light he had horns coming out
  • of his hand and there was the hiding of his power .
  • 35 Before him went the pestilence and burning coals went forth
  • at his feet .
  • 36 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 .
  • 37 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction and the curtains of
  • the land of Midian did tremble .
  • 38 Was the LORD displeased against the rivers was thine anger
  • against the rivers was thy wrath against the sea that thou didst
  • ride upon thine horses and thy chariots of salvation .
  • 39 Thy bow was made quite naked according to the oaths of the
  • tribes even thy word Selah Thou didst cleave the earth with
  • rivers .
  • 310 The mountains saw thee and they trembled the overflowing
  • of the water passed by the deep uttered his voice and lifted up
  • his hands on high .
  • 311 The sun and moon stood still in their habitation at the
  • light of thine arrows they went and at the shining of thy
  • glittering spear .
  • 312 Thou didst march through the land in indignation thou
  • didst thresh the heathen in anger .
  • 313 Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people even
  • for salvation with thine anointed thou woundedst the head out of
  • the house of the wicked by discovering the foundation unto the
  • neck Selah .
  • 314 Thou didst strike through with his staves the head of his
  • villages they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me their
  • rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly .
  • 315 Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses through
  • the heap of great waters .
  • 316 When I heard my belly trembled my lips quivered at the
  • voice rottenness entered into my bones and I trembled in myself
  • that I might rest in the day of trouble when he cometh up unto
  • the people he will invade them with his troops .
  • 317 Although the fig tree shall not blossom neither shall
  • fruit be in the vines the labour of the olive shall fail and the
  • fields shall yield no meat the flock shall be cut off from the
  • fold and there shall be no herd in the stalls .
  • 318 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD I will joy in the God of my
  • salvation .
  • 319 The LORD God is my strength and he will make my feet like
  • hinds' feet and he will make me to walk upon mine high places To
  • the chief singer on my stringed instruments .
