{{verse|1|1}} The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
{{verse|1|2}} O
Jehovah, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear? I cry out
unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save.
{{verse|1|3}} Why dost
thou show me iniquity, and look upon perverseness? for
destruction and violence are before me; and there is strife, and
contention riseth up.
{{verse|1|4}} Therefore the law is slacked, and
justice doth never go forth; for the wicked doth compass about
the righteous; therefore justice goeth forth perverted.
{{verse|1|5}} Behold ye among the nations, and look, and wonder marvellously;
for I am working a work in your days, which ye will not believe
though it be told you.
{{verse|1|6}} For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans,
that bitter and hasty nation, that march through the breadth of
the earth, to possess dwelling-places that are not theirs.
{{verse|1|7}} They are terrible and dreadful; their judgment and their dignity
proceed from themselves.
{{verse|1|8}} Their horses also are swifter
than leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves; and
their horsemen press proudly on: yea, their horsemen come from
far; they fly as an eagle that hasteth to devour.
{{verse|1|9}} They
come all of them for violence; the set of their faces is
forwards; and they gather captives as the sand.
{{verse|1|10}} Yea, he
scoffeth at kings, and princes are a derision unto him; he
derideth every stronghold; for he heapeth up dust, and taketh
it.
{{verse|1|11}} Then shall he sweep by [as] a wind, and shall pass
over, and be guilty, [even] he whose might is his god.
{{verse|1|12}} Art not thou from everlasting, O Jehovah my God, my Holy One? we
shall not die. O Jehovah, thou hast ordained him for judgment;
and thou, O Rock, hast established him for correction.
{{verse|1|13}} Thou that art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and that canst
not look on perverseness, wherefore lookest thou upon them that
deal treacherously, and holdest thy peace when the wicked
swalloweth up the man that is more righteous than he;
{{verse|1|14}} and
makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things,
that have no ruler over them?
{{verse|1|15}} He taketh up all of them
with the angle, he catcheth them in his net, and gathereth them
in his drag: therefore he rejoiceth and is glad.
{{verse|1|16}} Therefore he sacrificeth unto his net, and burneth incense unto
his drag; because by them his portion is fat, and his food
plenteous.
{{verse|1|17}} Shall he therefore empty his net, and spare
Line 85:
{{verse|2|1}} I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower,
and will look forth to see what he will speak with me, and what
I shall answer concerning my complaint.
{{verse|2|2}} And Jehovah
answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon
tablets, that he may run that readeth it.
{{verse|2|3}} For the vision
is yet for the appointed time, and it hasteth toward the end,
and shall not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will
surely come, it will not delay.
{{verse|2|4}} Behold, his soul is puffed
up, it is not upright in him; but the righteous shall live by
his faith.
{{verse|2|5}} Yea, moreover, wine is treacherous, a haughty
Line 104:
Sheol, and he is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but
gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all
peoples.
{{verse|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 that ladeth
himself with pledges!
{{verse|2|7}} Shall they not rise up suddenly that
shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt
be for booty unto them?
{{verse|2|8}} Because thou hast plundered many
nations, all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder thee,
because of men's blood, and for the violence done to the land,
to the city and to all that dwell therein.
{{verse|2|9}} Woe to him that
getteth an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on
high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil!
{{verse|2|10}} Thou hast devised shame to thy house, by cutting off many
peoples, and hast sinned against thy soul.
{{verse|2|11}} For the stone
shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall
answer it.
{{verse|2|12}} Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood,
and establisheth a city by iniquity!
{{verse|2|13}} Behold, is it not of
Jehovah of hosts that the peoples labor for the fire, and the
nations weary themselves for vanity?
{{verse|2|14}} For the earth shall
be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Jehovah, as the
waters cover the sea.
{{verse|2|15}} Woe unto him that giveth his
neighbor drink, [to thee] that addest thy venom, and makest him
drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
{{verse|2|16}} Thou art filled with shame, and not glory: drink thou also, and
Line 153:
the destruction of the beasts, which made them afraid; because
of men's blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the
city and to all that dwell therein.
{{verse|2|18}} What profiteth the
graven image, that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten
image, even the teacher of lies, that he that fashioneth its
form trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?
{{verse|2|19}} Woe unto him
that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise! Shall
this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and
there is no breath at all in the midst of it.
{{verse|2|20}} But Jehovah
