Habakkuk: Chapter 1

¹The burden^H4853 which Habakkuk^H2265 the prophet^H5030 did see^H2372. ²O LORD^H3068, how long shall I cry^H7768, and thou wilt not hear^H8085! even cry out^H2199 unto thee of violence^H2555, and thou wilt not save^H3467! ³Why dost thou shew^H7200 me iniquity^H0205, and cause me to behold^H5027 grievance^H5999? for spoiling^H7701 and violence^H2555 are before me: and there are that raise up^H5375 strife^H7379 and contention^H4066. ⁴Therefore the law^H8451 is slacked^H6313, and judgment^H4941 doth never^H5331 go forth^H3318: for the wicked^H7563 doth compass^H3803 about the righteous^H6662; therefore wrong^H6127 judgment^H4941 proceedeth^H3318.

⁵Behold^H7200 ye among the heathen^H1471, and regard^H5027, and wonder^H8539 marvellously^H8539: for I will work^H6466 a work^H6467 in your days^H3117, which ye will not believe^H0539, though it be told^H5608 you . ⁶For, lo, I raise up^H6965 the Chaldeans^H3778, that bitter^H4751 and hasty^H4116 nation^H1471, which shall march^H1980 through the breadth^H4800 of the land^H0776, to possess^H3423 the dwellingplaces^H4908 that are not theirs. ⁷They are terrible^H0366 and dreadful^H3372: their judgment^H4941 and their dignity^H7613 shall proceed^H3318 of themselves. ⁸Their horses^H5483 also are swifter^H7043 than the leopards^H5246, and are more fierce^H2300 than the evening^H6153 wolves^H2061: and their horsemen^H6571 shall spread^H6335 themselves, and their horsemen^H6571 shall come^H0935 from far^H7350; they shall fly^H5774 as the eagle^H5404 that hasteth^H2363 to eat^H0398. ⁹They shall come^H0935 all for violence^H2555: their faces^H6440 shall sup up^H4041 as the east wind^H6921, and they shall gather^H0622 the captivity^H7628 as the sand^H2344. ¹⁰And they shall scoff^H7046 at the kings^H4428, and the princes^H7336 shall be a scorn^H4890 unto them: they shall deride^H7832 every strong hold^H4013; for they shall heap^H6651 dust^H6083, and take^H3920 it. ¹¹Then shall his mind^H7307 change^H2498, and he shall pass over^H5674, and offend^H0816, imputing this^H2098 his power^H3581 unto his god^H0433.

¹² Art thou not from everlasting^H6924, O LORD^H3068 my God^H0430, mine Holy One^H6918? we shall not die^H4191. O LORD^H3068, thou hast ordained^H7760 them for judgment^H4941; and, O mighty God^H6697, thou hast established^H3245 them for correction^H3198. ¹³ Thou art of purer^H2889 eyes^H5869 than to behold^H7200 evil^H7451, and canst^H3201 not look^H5027 on iniquity^H5999: wherefore lookest^H5027 thou upon them that deal treacherously^H0898, and holdest thy tongue^H2790 when the wicked^H7563 devoureth^H1104 the man that is more righteous^H6662 than he? ¹⁴And makest^H6213 men^H0120 as the fishes^H1709 of the sea^H3220, as the creeping things^H7431, that have no ruler^H4910 over them? ¹⁵They take up^H5927 all of them with the angle^H2443, they catch^H1641 them in their net^H2764, and gather^H0622 them in their drag^H4365: therefore they rejoice^H8055 and are glad^H1523. ¹⁶Therefore they sacrifice^H2076 unto their net^H2764, and burn incense^H6999 unto their drag^H4365; because by them^H1992 their portion^H2506 is fat^H8082, and their meat^H3978 plenteous^H1277. ¹⁷Shall they therefore empty^H7324 their net^H2764, and not spare^H2550 continually^H8548 to slay^H2026 the nations^H1471?

Habakkuk: Chapter 2

¹I will stand^H5975 upon my watch^H4931, and set^H3320 me upon the tower^H4692, and will watch^H6822 to see^H7200 what he will say^H1696 unto me, and what I shall answer^H7725 when I am reproved^H8433. ²And the LORD^H3068 answered^H6030 me, and said^H0559, Write^H3789 the vision^H2377, and make it plain^H0874 upon tables^H3871, that he may run^H7323 that readeth^H7121 it. ³For the vision^H2377 is yet for an appointed time^H4150, but at the end^H7093 it shall speak^H6315, and not lie^H3576: though it tarry^H4102, wait^H2442 for it; because it will surely^H0935 come^H0935, it will not tarry^H0309. ⁴Behold, his soul^H5315 which is lifted up^H6075 is not upright^H3474 in him: but the just^H6662 shall live^H2421 by his faith^H0530.

⁵Yea also, because he transgresseth^H0898 by wine^H3196, he is a proud^H3093 man^H1397, neither keepeth at home^H5115, who enlargeth^H7337 his desire^H5315 as hell^H7585, and is as death^H4194, and cannot be satisfied^H7646, but gathereth^H0622 unto him all nations^H1471, and heapeth^H6908 unto him all people^H5971: ⁶Shall not all these take up^H5375 a parable^H4912 against him, and a taunting^H4426 proverb^H2420 against him, and say^H0559, Woe^H1945 to him that increaseth^H7235 that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth^H3513 himself with thick clay^H5671! ⁷Shall they not rise up^H6965 suddenly^H6621 that shall bite^H5391 thee, and awake^H3364 that shall vex^H2111 thee, and thou shalt be for booties^H4933 unto them? ⁸Because thou hast spoiled^H7997 many^H7227 nations^H1471, all the remnant^H3499 of the people^H5971 shall spoil^H7997 thee; because of mens^H0120 blood^H1818, and for the violence^H2555 of the land^H0776, of the city^H7151, and of all that dwell^H3427 therein.

⁹Woe^H1945 to him that coveteth^H1214 an evil^H7451 covetousness^H1215 to his house^H1004, that he may set^H7760 his nest^H7064 on high^H4791, that he may be delivered^H5337 from the power^H3709 of evil^H7451! ¹⁰Thou hast consulted^H3289 shame^H1322 to thy house^H1004 by cutting off^H7096 many^H7227 people^H5971, and hast sinned^H2398 against thy soul^H5315. ¹¹For the stone^H0068 shall cry out^H2199 of the wall^H7023, and the beam out^H3714 of the timber^H6086 shall answer^H6030 it.

¹²Woe^H1945 to him that buildeth^H1129 a town^H5892 with blood^H1818, and stablisheth^H3559 a city^H7151 by iniquity^H5766! ¹³Behold, is it not of the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635 that the people^H5971 shall labour^H3021 in the very^H1767 fire^H0784, and the people^H3816 shall weary^H3286 themselves for very^H1767 vanity^H7385? ¹⁴For the earth^H0776 shall be filled^H4390 with the knowledge^H3045 of the glory^H3519 of the LORD^H3068, as the waters^H4325 cover^H3680 the sea^H3220.

¹⁵Woe^H1945 unto him that giveth his neighbour^H7453 drink^H8248, that puttest^H5596 thy bottle^H2573 to him , and makest him drunken^H7937 also, that thou mayest look^H5027 on their nakedness^H4589! ¹⁶Thou art filled^H7646 with shame^H7036 for glory^H3519: drink^H8354 thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered^H6188: the cup^H3563 of the LORDs^H3068 right hand^H3225 shall be turned^H5437 unto thee, and shameful spewing^H7022 shall be on thy glory^H3519. ¹⁷For the violence^H2555 of Lebanon^H3844 shall cover^H3680 thee, and the spoil^H7701 of beasts^H0929, which made them afraid^H2865, because of mens^H0120 blood^H1818, and for the violence^H2555 of the land^H0776, of the city^H7151, and of all that dwell^H3427 therein.

¹⁸What profiteth^H3276 the graven image^H6459 that the maker^H3335 thereof hath graven^H6458 it; the molten image^H4541, and a teacher^H3384 of lies^H8267, that the maker^H3335 of his work^H3336 trusteth^H0982 therein, to make^H6213 dumb^H0483 idols^H0457? ¹⁹Woe^H1945 unto him that saith^H0559 to the wood^H6086, Awake^H6974; to the dumb^H1748 stone^H0068, Arise^H5782, it shall teach^H3384! Behold, it is laid^H8610 over with gold^H2091 and silver^H3701, and there is no breath^H7307 at all in the midst^H7130 of it. ²⁰But the LORD^H3068 is in his holy^H6944 temple^H1964: let all the earth^H0776 keep silence^H2013 before^H6440 him.

Habakkuk: Chapter 3

¹A prayer^H8605 of Habakkuk^H2265 the prophet^H5030 upon Shigionoth^H7692. ²O LORD^H3068, I have heard^H8085 thy speech^H8088, and was afraid^H3372: O LORD^H3068, revive^H2421 thy work^H6467 in the midst^H7130 of the years^H8141, in the midst^H7130 of the years^H8141 make known^H3045; in wrath^H7267 remember^H2142 mercy^H7355.

³God^H0433 came^H0935 from Teman^H8487, and the Holy One^H6918 from mount^H2022 Paran^H6290. Selah^H5542. His glory^H1935 covered^H3680 the heavens^H8064, and the earth^H0776 was full^H4390 of his praise^H8416. ⁴And his brightness^H5051 was as the light^H0216; he had horns^H7161 coming out of his hand^H3027: and there was the hiding^H2253 of his power^H5797. ⁵Before^H6440 him went^H3212 the pestilence^H1698, and burning coals^H7565 went forth^H3318 at his feet^H7272. ⁶He stood^H5975, and measured^H4128 the earth^H0776: he beheld^H7200, and drove asunder^H5425 the nations^H1471; and the everlasting^H5703 mountains^H2042 were scattered^H6327, the perpetual^H5769 hills^H1389 did bow^H7817: his ways^H1979 are everlasting^H5769. ⁷I saw^H7200 the tents^H0168 of Cushan^H3572 in affliction^H0205: and the curtains^H3407 of the land^H0776 of Midian^H4080 did tremble^H7264. ⁸Was the LORD^H3068 displeased^H2734 against the rivers^H5104? was thine anger^H0639 against the rivers^H5104? was thy wrath^H5678 against the sea^H3220, that thou didst ride^H7392 upon thine horses^H5483 and thy chariots^H4818 of salvation^H3444? ⁹Thy bow^H7198 was made quite^H6181 naked^H5783, according to the oaths^H7621 of the tribes^H4294, even thy word^H0562. Selah^H5542. Thou didst cleave^H1234 the earth^H0776 with rivers^H5104. ¹⁰The mountains^H2022 saw^H7200 thee, and they trembled^H2342: the overflowing^H2230 of the water^H4325 passed by^H5674: the deep^H8415 uttered^H5414 his voice^H6963, and lifted up^H5375 his hands^H3027 on high^H7315. ¹¹The sun^H8121 and moon^H3394 stood still^H5975 in their habitation^H2073: at the light^H0216 of thine arrows^H2671 they went^H1980, and at the shining^H5051 of thy glittering^H1300 spear^H2595. ¹²Thou didst march through^H6805 the land^H0776 in indignation^H2195, thou didst thresh^H1758 the heathen^H1471 in anger^H0639. ¹³Thou wentest forth^H3318 for the salvation^H3468 of thy people^H5971, even for salvation^H3468 with thine anointed^H4899; thou woundedst^H4272 the head^H7218 out of the house^H1004 of the wicked^H7563, by discovering^H6168 the foundation^H3247 unto the neck^H6677. Selah^H5542. ¹⁴Thou didst strike through^H5344 with his staves^H4294 the head^H7218 of his villages^H6518: they came out as a whirlwind^H5590 to scatter^H6327 me: their rejoicing^H5951 was as to devour^H0398 the poor^H6041 secretly^H4565. ¹⁵Thou didst walk^H1869 through the sea^H3220 with thine horses^H5483, through the heap^H2563 of great^H7227 waters^H4325.

¹⁶When I heard^H8085, my belly^H0990 trembled^H7264; my lips^H8193 quivered^H6750 at the voice^H6963: rottenness^H7538 entered^H0935 into my bones^H6106, and I trembled^H7264 in myself, that I might rest^H5117 in the day^H3117 of trouble^H6869: when he cometh up^H5927 unto the people^H5971, he will invade them with his troops^H1464.

¹⁷Although the fig tree^H8384 shall not blossom^H6524, neither shall fruit^H2981 be in the vines^H1612; the labour^H4639 of the olive^H2132 shall fail^H3584, and the fields^H7709 shall yield^H6213 no meat^H0400; the flock^H6629 shall be cut off^H1504 from the fold^H4356, and there shall be no herd^H1241 in the stalls^H7517: ¹⁸Yet I will rejoice^H5937 in the LORD^H3068, I will joy^H1523 in the God^H0430 of my salvation^H3468. ¹⁹The LORD^H3069 God^H0136 is my strength^H2428, and he will make^H7760 my feet^H7272 like hinds^H0355 feet , and he will make me to walk^H1869 upon mine high places^H1116. To the chief singer^H5329 on my stringed instruments^H5058.
