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.
To the chief <5329> singer <5329> on my stringed < 5058>
instruments.
