: Habakkuk 1

: 01 . The burden <4853 massa> > which <0834 > aher > Habakkuk
<2265 Chabaqquwq > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > did see <2372
chazah > .

: 02 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , how <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad >
shall I cry <7768 shava< > , and thou wilt not hear < 8085
shama< > ! [ even ] cry <2199 za<aq > out unto thee [ of ]
violence <2555 chamac > , and thou wilt not save <3467 yasha< >
!

: 03 Why <4100 mah > dost thou shew <7200 ra>ah > me iniquity
<0205 >aven > , and cause [ me ] to behold <5027 nabat >
grievance <5999 <amal > ? for spoiling <7701 shod > and
violence <2555 chamac > [ are ] before <5048 neged > me : and
there are [ that ] raise <5375 nasa> > up strife < 7379 riyb >
and contention <4066 madown > .

: 04 Therefore the law <8451 towrah > is slacked <6313 puwg > ,
and judgment <4941 mishpat > doth never go <3318 yatsa> > forth
<3318 yatsa> > : for the wicked <7563 rasha< > doth compass
<3803 kathar > about the righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > ; therefore
wrong <6127 <aqal > judgment <4941 mishpat > proceedeth <3318
yatsa> > .

: 05 . Behold <7200 ra>ah > ye among the heathen < 1471 gowy > ,
and regard <5027 nabat > , and wonder <8539 tamahh >
marvellously <8539 tamahh > : for [ I ] will work < 6466 pa<al
> a work <6467 po<al > in your days <3117 yowm > , [ which ]
ye will not believe <0539 >aman > , though <3588 kiy > it be
told <5608 caphar > [ you ] .

: 06 For , lo <2009 hinneh > , I raise <6965 quwm > up the
Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > , [ that ] bitter <4751 mar > and
hasty <4116 mahar > nation <1471 gowy > , which shall march
<1980 halak > through the breadth <4800 merchab > of the land
<0776 >erets > , to possess <0423 >alah > the dwellingplaces
<4908 mishkan > [ that are ] not theirs .

: 07 They [ are ] terrible <0366 >ayom > and dreadful <3372
yare> > : their judgment <4941 mishpat > and their dignity <7613
s@>eth > shall proceed <3318 yatsa> > of themselves .

: 08 Their horses <5483 cuwc > also are swifter <7043 qalal >
than the leopards <5246 namer > , and are more fierce < 2300
chadad > than the evening <6153 <ereb > wolves < 2061 z@>eb > :
and their horsemen <6571 parash > shall spread <6335 puwsh >
themselves , and their horsemen <6571 parash > shall come <0935
bow> > from far <7350 rachowq > ; they shall fly < 5774 <uwph >
as the eagle <5404 nesher > [ that ] hasteth <2363 chuwsh > to
eat <0398 >akal > .

: 09 They shall come <0935 bow> > all <3605 kol > for violence
<2555 chamac > : their faces <6440 paniym > shall sup <4041
m@gammah > up [ as ] the east <6921 qadiym > wind , and they
shall gather <0622 >acaph > the captivity <7628 sh@biy > as the
sand <2344 chowl > .

: 10 And they shall scoff <7046 qalac > at the kings < 4428
melek > , and the princes <7336 razan > shall be a scorn <4890
mischaq > unto them : they shall deride <7832 sachaq > every
<3605 kol > strong <4013 mibtsar > hold <4013 mibtsar > ; for
they shall heap <6651 tsabar > dust <6083 <aphar > , and take
<3920 lakad > it .

: 11 Then <0227 >az > shall [ his ] mind <7307 ruwach >
change <2498 chalaph > , and he shall pass <5674 < abar > over
<5674 <abar > , and offend <0816 >asham > , [ imputing ]
this <2098 zuw > his power <3581 koach > unto his god <0430
>elohiym > .

: 12 . [ Art ] thou not from everlasting <6924 qedem > , O
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430 >elohiym > , mine Holy <6918
qadowsh > One <6918 qadowsh > ? we shall not die < 4191 muwth > .
O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , thou hast ordained <7760 suwm > them
for judgment <4941 mishpat > ; and , O mighty <6697 tsuwr >
God <6697 tsuwr > , thou hast established <3245 yacad > them
for correction <3198 yakach > .

: 13 [ Thou art ] of purer <2889 tahowr > eyes <5869 <ayin >
than to behold <7200 ra>ah > evil <7451 ra< > , and canst <3201
yakol > not look <5027 nabat > on <0413 >el > iniquity <5999
<amal > : wherefore <4100 mah > lookest <5027 nabat > thou upon
them that deal treacherously <0898 bagad > , [ and ] holdest
<2790 charash > thy tongue <2790 charash > when the wicked <7563
rasha< > devoureth <1104 bala< > [ the man that is ] more
righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > than he ?

: 14 And makest <6213 <asah > men <0120 >adam > as the fishes
<1709 dag > of the sea <3220 yam > , as the creeping <7431
remes > things , [ that have ] no <3808 lo> > ruler <4910
mashal > over them ?

: 15 They take <5927 <alah > up all <3605 kol > of them with
the angle <2443 chakkah > , they catch <1641 garar > them in
their net <2764 cherem > , and gather <0622 >acaph > them in
their drag <4365 mikmereth > : therefore they rejoice < 8055
samach > and are glad <1523 giyl > .

: 16 Therefore they sacrifice <2076 zabach > unto their net
<2764 cherem > , and burn <6999 qatar > incense < 6999 qatar >
unto their drag <4365 mikmereth > ; because <3588 kiy > by them
their portion <2506 cheleq > [ is ] fat <8082 shamen > , and
their meat <3978 ma>akal > plenteous <1277 bariy> > .

: 17 Shall they therefore <3651 ken > empty <7324 ruwq > their
net <2764 cherem > , and not spare <2550 chamal > continually
<8548 tamiyd > to slay <2026 harag > the nations < 1471 gowy > ?

: Habakkuk 2

: 01 . I will stand <5975 <amad > upon my watch < 4931
mishmereth > , and set <3320 yatsab > me upon the tower <4692
matsowr > , and will watch <6822 tsaphah > to see < 7200 ra>ah >
what <4100 mah > he will say <1696 dabar > unto me , and what
<4100 mah > I shall answer <7725 shuwb > when < 5921 <al > I am
reproved <8433 towkechah > .

: 02 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > answered <6030 < anah > me ,
and said <0559 >amar > , Write <3789 kathab > the vision <2377
chazown > , and make [ it ] plain <0874 ba>ar > upon tables
<3871 luwach > , that he may run <7323 ruwts > that readeth
<7121 qara> > it .

: 03 For the vision <2377 chazown > [ is ] yet <5750 <owd >
for an appointed <4150 mow<ed > time , but at the end <7093
qets > it shall speak <6315 puwach > , and not lie < 3576 kazab
> : though <0518 >im > it tarry <4102 mahahh > , wait <2442
chakah > for it ; because <3588 kiy > it will surely come <0935
bow> > , it will not tarry <0309 >achar > .

: 04 Behold <2009 hinneh > , his soul <5315 nephesh > [ which
] is lifted <6075 <aphal > up is not upright <3474 yashar > in
him : but the just <6662 tsaddiyq > shall live <2421 chayah > by
his faith <0530 >emuwnah > .

: 05 . Yea <0637 >aph > also <0637 >aph > , because <3588 kiy
> he transgresseth <0898 bagad > by wine <3196 yayin > , [ he
is ] a proud <3093 yahiyr > man <1397 geber > , neither <3808
lo> > keepeth at home <5115 navah > , who <0834 >aher >
enlargeth <7337 rachab > his desire <5315 nephesh > as hell
<7585 sh@>owl > , and [ is ] as death <4194 maveth > , and
cannot <3808 lo> > be satisfied <7646 saba< > , but gathereth
<0622 >acaph > unto him all <3605 kol > nations <1471 gowy > ,
and heapeth <6908 qabats > unto him all <3605 kol > people <5971
<am > :

: 06 Shall not all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el - leh > take
<5375 nasa> > up a parable <4912 mashal > against <5921 <al >
him , and a taunting <4426 m@liytsah > proverb <2420 chiydah >
against him , and say <0559 >amar > , Woe <1945 howy > to him
that increaseth <7235 rabah > [ that which is ] not his ! how
<5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > ? and to him that ladeth <3515
kabed > himself with thick clay <5671 <abtiyt > !

: 07 Shall they not rise <6965 quwm > up suddenly <6621 petha<
> that shall bite <5391 nashak > thee , and awake < 6974 quwts >
that shall vex <2111 zuwa< > thee , and thou shalt be for
booties <4933 m@chiccah > unto them ?

: 08 Because <3588 kiy > thou hast spoiled <7997 shalal > many
<7227 rab > nations <1471 gowy > , all <3605 kol > the remnant
<3499 yether > of the people <5971 <am > shall spoil <7701 shod
> thee ; because <3588 kiy > of men s <0120 >adam > blood <1818
dam > , and [ for ] the violence <2555 chamac > of the land
<0776 >erets > , of the city <7151 qiryah > , and of all <3605
kol > that dwell <3427 yashab > therein .

: 09 Woe <1945 howy > to him that coveteth <1214 batsa< > an
evil <7451 ra< > covetousness <1215 betsa< > to his house <1004
bayith > , that he may set <7760 suwm > his nest < 7064 qen > on
high <4791 marowm > , that he may be delivered <5337 natsal >
from the power <3709 kaph > of evil <7451 ra< > !

: 10 Thou hast consulted <3289 ya<ats > shame <1322 bosheth >
to thy house <1004 bayith > by cutting <7096 qatsah > off many
<7227 rab > people <5971 <am > , and hast sinned <2398 chata> >
[ against ] thy soul <5315 nephesh > .

: 11 For the stone <68> shall cry <2199 za<aq > out of the wall
<7023 qiyr > , and the beam <3714 kaphiyc > out of the timber
<6086 <ets > shall answer <6030 <anah > it .

: 12 Woe <1945 howy > to him that buildeth <1129 banah > a town
<5892 <iyr > with blood <1818 dam > , and stablisheth <3559
kuwn > a city <7151 qiryah > by iniquity <5766 < evel > !

: 13 Behold <2009 hinneh > , [ is it ] not of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > that the people < 5971 <am >
shall labour <3021 yaga< > in the very <1767 day > fire <0784
>esh > , and the people <3816 l@om > shall weary < 3286 ya<aph >
themselves for very <1767 day > vanity <7385 riyq > ?

: 14 For the earth <0776 >erets > shall be filled < 4390 male> >
with the knowledge <3045 yada< > of the glory <3519 kabowd > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , as the waters <4325 mayim > cover
<3680 kacah > the sea <3220 yam > .

: 15 . Woe <1945 howy > unto him that giveth his neighbour
<7453 rea< > drink <8248 shaqah > , that puttest <5596 caphach
> thy bottle <2573 chemeth > to [ him ] , and makest [ him ]
drunken <7937 shakar > also <0637 >aph > , that thou mayest
look <5027 nabat > on <5921 <al > their nakedness <4589 ma<owr >
!

: 16 Thou art filled <7646 saba< > with shame <7036 qalown >
for glory <3519 kabowd > : drink <8354 shathah > thou also <1571
gam > , and let thy foreskin <6188 <arel > be uncovered : the
cup <3563 kowc > of the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah > right <3225
yamiyn > hand <3225 yamiyn > shall be turned <5437 cabab > unto
thee , and shameful <7022 qiyqalown > spewing <7022 qiyqalown >
[ shall be ] on <5921 <al > thy glory <3519 kabowd > .

: 17 For the violence <2555 chamac > of Lebanon <3844 L@banown
> shall cover <3680 kacah > thee , and the spoil < 0962 bazaz >
of beasts <0929 b@hemah > , [ which ] made them afraid <2865
chathath > , because of men s <0120 >adam > blood <1818 dam > ,
and for the violence <2555 chamac > of the land <0776 >erets > ,
of the city <7151 qiryah > , and of all <3605 kol > that
dwell <3427 yashab > therein .

: 18 What <4100 mah > profiteth <3276 ya<al > the graven <6459
pecel > image that the maker <3335 yatsar > thereof hath graven
<6458 pacal > it ; the molten <4541 maccekah > image , and a
teacher <3384 yarah > of lies <8267 sheqer > , that the maker
<3335 yatsar > of his work <3336 yetser > trusteth <0982 batach
> therein <5921 <al > , to make <6213 <asah > dumb <0483 >illem
> idols <0457 >eliyl > ?

: 19 Woe <1945 howy > unto him that saith <0559 > amar > to the
wood <6086 <ets > , Awake <6974 quwts > ; to the dumb <1748
duwmam > stone <68> , Arise <5782 <uwr > , it shall teach
<3384 yarah > ! Behold <2009 hinneh > , it [ is ] laid <8610
taphas > over with gold <2091 zahab > and silver < 3701 keceph > ,
and [ there is ] no <0369 >ayin > breath <7307 ruwach > at
all <3605 kol > in the midst <7130 qereb > of it .

: 20 But the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [ is ] in his holy < 6944
qodesh > temple <1964 heykal > : let all <3605 kol > the earth
<0776 >erets > keep silence <2013 hacah > before <6440 paniym >
him .

: Habakkuk 3

: 01 . A prayer <8605 t@phillah > of Habakkuk <2265 Chabaqquwq
> the prophet <5030 nabiy> > upon Shigionoth <7692 shiggayown > .

: 02 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , I have heard <8085 shama< > thy
speech <8088 shema< > , [ and ] was afraid <3372 yare> > : O
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , revive <2421 chayah > thy work <6467
po<al > in the midst <7130 qereb > of the years < 8141 shaneh > ,
in the midst <7130 qereb > of the years <8141 shaneh > make
known <3045 yada< > ; in wrath <7267 rogez > remember <2142
zakar > mercy <7355 racham > .

: 03 . God <0433 >elowahh > came <0935 bow> > from Teman <8487
Teyman > , and the Holy <6918 qadowsh > One <6918 qadowsh >
from mount <2022 har > Paran <6290 Pa>ran > . Selah <5542 celah
> . His glory <1935 howd > covered <3680 kacah > the heavens
<8064 shamayim > , and the earth <0776 >erets > was full <4390
male> > of his praise <8416 t@hillah > .

: 04 And [ his ] brightness <5051 nogahh > was as the light
<0216 >owr > ; he had <1961 hayah > horns < 7161 qeren > [
coming ] out of his hand <3027 yad > : and there <8033 sham >
[ was ] the hiding <2253 chebyown > of his power <5797 <oz > .

: 05 Before <6440 paniym > him went <3212 yalak > the
pestilence <1698 deber > , and burning <7565 resheph > coals
<7565 resheph > went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > at his
feet <7272 regel > .

: 06 He stood <5975 <amad > , and measured <4128 muwd > the
earth <0776 >erets > : he beheld <7200 ra>ah > , and drove
<5425 nathar > asunder the nations <1471 gowy > ; and the
everlasting <5703 <ad > mountains <2042 harar > were scattered
<6327 puwts > , the perpetual <5769 <owlam > hills <1389 gib<ah
> did bow <7817 shachach > : his ways <1979 haliykah > [ are ]
everlasting <5769 <owlam > .

: 07 I saw <7200 ra>ah > the tents <0168 >ohel > of Cushan
<3572 Kuwshan > in affliction <0205 >aven > : [ and ] the
curtains <3407 y@riy<ah > of the land <0776 >erets > of Midian
<4080 Midyan > did tremble <7264 ragaz > .

: 08 Was the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > displeased <2734 charah >
against the rivers <5104 nahar > ? [ was ] thine anger <0639
>aph > against the rivers <5104 nahar > ? [ was ] thy wrath
<5678 <ebrah > against the sea <3220 yam > , that thou didst
ride <7392 rakab > upon thine horses <5483 cuwc > [ and ] thy
chariots <4818 merkabah > of salvation <3444 y@shuw< ah > ?

: 09 Thy bow <7198 qesheth > was made quite <6181 < eryah >
naked <5783 <uwr > , [ according ] to the oaths < 7621
sh@buw<ah > of the tribes <4294 matteh > , [ even thy ] word
<0562 >omer > . Selah <5542 celah > . Thou didst cleave <1234
baqa< > the earth <0776 >erets > with rivers < 5104 nahar > .

: 10 The mountains <2022 har > saw <7200 ra>ah > thee , [ and
] they trembled <2342 chuwl > : the overflowing <2230 zerem >
of the water <4325 mayim > passed <5674 <abar > by : the deep
<8415 t@howm > uttered <5414 nathan > his voice < 6963 qowl > ,
[ and ] lifted <5375 nasa> > up his hands <3027 yad > on high
<7315 rowm > .

: 11 The sun <8121 shemesh > [ and ] moon <3394 yareach >
stood <5975 <amad > still in their habitation <2073 z@buwl > :
at the light <0216 >owr > of thine arrows <2671 chets > they
went <1980 halak > , [ and ] at the shining <5051 nogahh > of
thy glittering <1300 baraq > spear <2595 chaniyth > .

: 12 Thou didst march <6805 tsa<ad > through the land <0776
>erets > in indignation <2195 za<am > , thou didst thresh <1758
duwsh > the heathen <1471 gowy > in anger <0639 > aph > .

: 13 Thou wentest <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > for the
salvation <3468 yesha< > of thy people <5971 <am > , [ even ]
for salvation <3468 yesha< > with thine anointed < 4899 mashiyach
> ; thou woundedst <4272 machats > the head <7218 ro>sh > out
of the house <1004 bayith > of the wicked <7563 rasha< > , by
discovering <6168 <arah > the foundation <3247 y@cowd > unto the
neck <6676 tsavva>r > . Selah <5542 celah > .

: 14 Thou didst strike <5344 naqab > through with his staves
<4294 matteh > the head <7218 ro>sh > of his villages <6518
paraz > : they came out as a whirlwind <5590 ca<ar > to scatter
<6327 puwts > me : their rejoicing <5951 <aliytsuwth > [ was ]
as to devour <0398 >akal > the poor <6041 <aniy > secretly <4565
mictar > .

: 15 Thou didst walk <1869 darak > through the sea < 3220 yam >
with thine horses <5483 cuwc > , [ through ] the heap <2563
chomer > of great <7227 rab > waters <4325 mayim > .

: 16 . When I heard <8085 shama< > , my belly < 0990 beten >
trembled <7364 rachats > ; my lips <8193 saphah > quivered
<6750 tsalal > at the voice <6963 qowl > : rottenness <7538
raqab > entered <0935 bow> > into my bones <6106 <etsem > , and
I trembled <7264 ragaz > in myself , that I might rest < 5117
nuwach > in the day <3117 yowm > of trouble <6869 tsarah > :
when he cometh <5927 <alah > up unto the people <5971 <am > ,
he will invade <1464 guwd > them with his troops .

: 17 Although <0272 >achuzzah > the fig <8384 t@> en > tree
shall not blossom <6524 parach > , neither <0369 > ayin > [
shall ] fruit <2981 y@buwl > [ be ] in the vines < 1612 gephen
> ; the labour <4639 ma<aseh > of the olive <2132 zayith >
shall fail <3584 kachash > , and the fields <7709 sh@demah >
shall yield <6213 <asah > no <3808 lo> > meat <0400 >okel > ;
the flock <6629 tso>n > shall be cut <1504 gazar > off from the
fold <4356 mikla>ah > , and [ there shall be ] no < 3808 lo> >
herd <1241 baqar > in the stalls <7517 repheth > :

: 18 Yet I will rejoice <5937 <alaz > in the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah
> , I will joy <1523 giyl > in the God <0430 > elohiym > of my
salvation <3468 yesha< > .

: 19 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0136 >Adonay > [ is ] my
strength <2428 chayil > , and he will make <7760 suwm > my feet
<7272 regel > like hinds <0355 >ayalah > [ feet <7272 regel >
] , and he will make me to walk <1869 darak > upon mine high
<1116 bamah > places . To the chief <5329 natsach > singer
<5329 natsach > on my stringed <5058 n@giynah > instruments .
