HAB-1:1 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
HAB-1:2 O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear!
[even] cry out unto thee [of] violence, and thou wilt not save!
HAB-1:3 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.
HAB-1:4 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never
go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous;
therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.
HAB-1:5 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].
HAB-1:6 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.
HAB-1:7 They [are] terrible and dreadful: their judgment and
their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
HAB-1:8 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.
HAB-1:9 They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup
up [as] the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as
the sand.
HAB-1:10 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.
HAB-1:11 Then shall [his] mind change, and he shall pass over,
and offend, [imputing] this his power unto his god.
HAB-1:12 [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.
HAB-1:13 [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?
HAB-1:14 And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the
creeping things, [that have] no ruler over them?
HAB-1:15 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.
HAB-1:16 Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn
incense unto their drag; because by them their portion [is] fat,
and their meat plenteous.
HAB-1:17 Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare
continually to slay the nations?
*HAB-2:1 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.
HAB-2:2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision,
and make [it] plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
HAB-2:3 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.
HAB-2:4 Behold, his soul [which] is lifted up is not upright in
him: but the just shall live by his faith.
HAB-2:5 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:
HAB-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 to him that
ladeth himself with thick clay!
HAB-2:7 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee,
and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties
unto them?
HAB-2:8 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.
HAB-2:9 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!
HAB-2:10 Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off
many people, and hast sinned [against] thy soul.
HAB-2:11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam
out of the timber shall answer it.
HAB-2:12 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and
stablisheth a city by iniquity!
HAB-2:13 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?
HAB-2:14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of
the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
HAB-2:15 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!
HAB-2:16 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]
