The burdenH4853 which HabakkukH2265 the prophetH5030 did seeH2372.
O LORDH3068, how long shall I cryH7768, and thou wilt not hearH8085! even cry outH2199 unto thee of violenceH2555, and thou wilt not saveH3467!
Why dost thou shewH7200 me iniquityH205, and cause me to beholdH5027 grievanceH5999? for spoilingH7701 and violenceH2555 are before me: and there are that raise upH5375 strifeH7379 and contentionH4066.
Therefore the lawH8451 is slackedH6313, and judgmentH4941 doth neverH5331 go forthH3318: for the wickedH7563 doth compassH3803 about the righteousH6662; therefore wrongH6127 judgmentH4941 proceedethH3318. {wrong: or, wrested}
BeholdH7200 ye among the heathenH1471, and regardH5027, and wonderH8539 marvellouslyH8539: for I will workH6466 a workH6467 in your daysH3117, which ye will not believeH539, though it be toldH5608 you.
For, lo, I raise upH6965 the ChaldeansH3778, that bitterH4751 and hastyH4116 nationH1471, which shall marchH1980 through the breadthH4800 of the landH776, to possessH3423 the dwellingplacesH4908 that are not theirs. {breadth: Heb. breadths}
They are terribleH366 and dreadfulH3372: their judgmentH4941 and their dignityH7613 shall proceedH3318 of themselves. {their judgment…: or, from them shall proceed the judgment of these, and the captivity of these}
Their horsesH5483 also are swifterH7043 than the leopardsH5246, and are more fierceH2300 than the eveningH6153 wolvesH2061: and their horsemenH6571 shall spreadH6335 themselves, and their horsemenH6571 shall comeH935 from farH7350; they shall flyH5774 as the eagleH5404 that hastethH2363 to eatH398. {fierce: Heb. sharp}
They shall comeH935 all for violenceH2555: their facesH6440 shall sup upH4041 as the east windH6921, and they shall gatherH622 the captivityH7628 as the sandH2344. {their…: or, the supping up of their faces, etc: or, their faces shall look (Heb. the opposition of their faces) toward the east}
And they shall scoffH7046 at the kingsH4428, and the princesH7336 shall be a scornH4890 unto them: they shall derideH7832 every strong holdH4013; for they shall heapH6651 dustH6083, and takeH3920 it.
Then shall his mindH7307 changeH2498, and he shall pass overH5674, and offendH816, imputing thisH2098 his powerH3581 unto his godH433.
Art thou not from everlastingH6924, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, mine Holy OneH6918? we shall not dieH4191. O LORDH3068, thou hast ordainedH7760 them for judgmentH4941; and, O mighty GodH6697, thou hast establishedH3245 them for correctionH3198. {mighty…: Heb. rock. established: Heb. founded}
Thou art of purerH2889 eyesH5869 than to beholdH7200 evilH7451, and canstH3201 not lookH5027 on iniquityH5999: wherefore lookestH5027 thou upon them that deal treacherouslyH898, and holdest thy tongueH2790 when the wickedH7563 devourethH1104 the man that is more righteousH6662 than he? {iniquity: or, grievance}
And makestH6213 menH120 as the fishesH1709 of the seaH3220, as the creeping thingsH7431, that have no rulerH4910 over them? {creeping: or, moving}
They take upH5927 all of them with the angleH2443, they catchH1641 them in their netH2764, and gatherH622 them in their dragH4365: therefore they rejoiceH8055 and are gladH1523. {drag: or, flue net}
Therefore they sacrificeH2076 unto their netH2764, and burn incenseH6999 unto their dragH4365; because by themH1992 their portionH2506 is fatH8082, and their meatH3978 plenteousH1277. {plenteous: or, dainty: Heb. fat}
Shall they therefore emptyH7324 their netH2764, and not spareH2550 continuallyH8548 to slayH2026 the nationsH1471?

And the LORDH3068 shall scatterH6327 you among the nationsH5971, and ye shall be leftH7604 fewH4962 in numberH4557 among the heathenH1471, whither the LORDH3068 shall leadH5090 you.
Therefore, behold, I will proceedH3254 to do a marvellous workH6381 among this peopleH5971, even a marvellous workH6381 and a wonderH6382: for the wisdomH2451 of their wiseH2450 men shall perishH6, and the understandingH998 of their prudentH995 men shall be hidH5641. {proceed: Heb. add}
For the LORDH3068 shall rise upH6965 as in mountH2022 PerazimH6559, he shall be wrothH7264 as in the valleyH6010 of GibeonH1391, that he may doH6213 his workH4639, his strangeH2114 workH4639; and bring to passH5647 his actH5656, his strangeH5237 actH5656.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will punishH6485 all them which are circumcisedH4135 with the uncircumcisedH6190; {punish: Heb. visit upon}
The kingsH4428 of the earthH776, and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH8398, would not have believedH539 that the adversaryH6862 and the enemyH341 should have enteredH935 into the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389.
Now therefore be ye not mockersH3887, lest your bandsH4147 be made strongH2388: for I have heardH8085 from the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 a consumptionH3617, even determinedH2782 upon the whole earthH776.
EgyptH4714, and JudahH3063, and EdomH123, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and MoabH4124, and all that are in the utmostH7112 cornersH6285, that dwellH3427 in the wildernessH4057: for all these nationsH1471 are uncircumcisedH6189, and all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 are uncircumcisedH6189 in the heartH3820. {in the utmost…: Heb. cut off into corners, or, having the corners of their hair polled}
And he hath confirmedH6965 his wordsH1697, which he spakeH1696 against us, and against our judgesH8199 that judgedH8199 us, by bringingH935 upon us a greatH1419 evilH7451: for under the whole heavenH8064 hath not been doneH6213 as hath been doneH6213 upon JerusalemH3389.
They have beliedH3584 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, It is not he; neither shall evilH7451 comeH935 upon us; neither shall we seeH7200 swordH2719 nor famineH7458:
For manyH7227 nationsH1471 and greatH1419 kingsH4428 shall serveH5647 themselves of them also: and I will recompenseH7999 them according to their deedsH6467, and according to the worksH4639 of their own handsH3027.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 unto me; TakeH3947 the wineH3196 cupH3563 of this furyH2534 at my handH3027, and cause all the nationsH1471, to whom I sendH7971 thee, to drinkH8248 it.
And they shall drinkH8354, and be movedH1607, and be madH1984, becauseH6440 of the swordH2719 that I will sendH7971 among them.
Then tookH3947 I the cupH3563 at the LORD'SH3068 handH3027, and made all the nationsH1471 to drinkH8248, unto whom the LORDH3068 had sentH7971 me:
To wit, JerusalemH3389, and the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and the kingsH4428 thereof, and the princesH8269 thereof, to makeH5414 them a desolationH2723, an astonishmentH8047, an hissingH8322, and a curseH7045; as it is this dayH3117;
PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and his servantsH5650, and his princesH8269, and all his peopleH5971;
And all the mingledH6154 people, and all the kingsH4428 of the landH776 of UzH5780, and all the kingsH4428 of the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, and AshkelonH831, and AzzahH5804, and EkronH6138, and the remnantH7611 of AshdodH795,
EdomH123, and MoabH4124, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983,
And all the kingsH4428 of TyrusH6865, and all the kingsH4428 of ZidonH6721, and the kingsH4428 of the islesH339 which are beyondH5676 the seaH3220, {isles: or, region by the sea side}
DedanH1719, and TemaH8485, and BuzH938, and all that are in the utmostH7112 cornersH6285, {that…: Heb. cut off into corners, or, having the corners of the hair polled}
And all the kingsH4428 of ArabiaH6152, and all the kingsH4428 of the mingled peopleH6154 that dwellH7931 in the desertH4057,
And all the kingsH4428 of ZimriH2174, and all the kingsH4428 of ElamH5867, and all the kingsH4428 of the MedesH4074,
And all the kingsH4428 of the northH6828, farH7350 and nearH7138, oneH376 with anotherH251, and all the kingdomsH4467 of the worldH776, which are upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127: and the kingH4428 of SheshachH8347 shall drinkH8354 afterH310 them.
Therefore thou shalt sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; DrinkH8354 ye, and be drunkenH7937, and spueH7006, and fallH5307, and riseH6965 no more, becauseH6440 of the swordH2719 which I will sendH7971 among you.
And it shall be, if they refuseH3985 to takeH3947 the cupH3563 at thine handH3027 to drinkH8354, then shalt thou sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Ye shall certainlyH8354 drinkH8354.
For, lo, I beginH2490 to bring evilH7489 on the cityH5892 which is calledH7121 by my nameH8034, and should ye be utterlyH5352 unpunishedH5352? Ye shall not be unpunishedH5352: for I will callH7121 for a swordH2719 upon all the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {which…: Heb. upon which my name is called}
BewareG991 thereforeG3767, lest thatG3361 comeG1904 uponG1909 youG5209, which is spoken ofG2046 inG1722 the prophetsG4396;
And the prophetsH5030 shall become windH7307, and the wordH1696 is not in them: thus shall it be doneH6213 unto them.
BeholdG1492, ye despisersG2707, andG2532 wonderG2296, andG2532 perishG853: forG3754 IG1473 workG2038 a workG2041 inG1722 yourG5216 daysG2250, a workG2041 whichG3739 ye shallG4100 in no wiseG3364 believeG4100, thoughG1437 a manG5100 declare itG1555 unto youG5213.
Then saidH559 they, ComeH3212, and let us deviseH2803 devicesH4284 against JeremiahH3414; for the lawH8451 shall not perishH6 from the priestH3548, nor counselH6098 from the wiseH2450, nor the wordH1697 from the prophetH5030. ComeH3212, and let us smiteH5221 him with the tongueH3956, and let us not give heedH7181 to any of his wordsH1697. {with…: or, for the tongue}
SonH1121 of manH120, what is that proverbH4912 that ye have in the landH127 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, The daysH3117 are prolongedH748, and every visionH2377 failethH6?
TellH559 them therefore, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will make this proverbH4912 to ceaseH7673, and they shall no more use it as a proverbH4911 in IsraelH3478; but sayH1696 unto them, The daysH3117 are at handH7126, and the effectH1697 of every visionH2377.
For there shall be no more any vainH7723 visionH2377 nor flatteringH2509 divinationH4738 withinH8432 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
For I am the LORDH3068: I will speakH1696, and the wordH1697 that I shall speakH1696 shall come to passH6213; it shall be no more prolongedH4900: for in your daysH3117, O rebelliousH4805 houseH1004, will I sayH1696 the wordH1697, and will performH6213 it, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Again the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, behold, they of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 sayH559, The visionH2377 that he seethH2372 is for manyH7227 daysH3117 to come, and he prophesiethH5012 of the timesH6256 that are farH7350 off.
Therefore sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; There shall none of my wordsH1697 be prolongedH4900 any more, but the wordH1697 which I have spokenH1696 shall be doneH6213, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
I will utterlyH622 consumeH5486 all things from off the landH6440+H127, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {I will…: Heb. By taking away I will make an end} {the land: Heb. the face of the land}
