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?
