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?

The eternalH6924 GodH430 is thy refugeH4585, and underneath are the everlastingH5769 armsH2220: and he shall thrust outH1644 the enemyH341 from beforeH6440 thee; and shall sayH559, DestroyH8045 them.
O LORDH3068, I have heardH8085 thy speechH8088, and was afraidH3372: O LORDH3068, reviveH2421 thy workH6467 in the midstH7130 of the yearsH8141, in the midstH7130 of the yearsH8141 make knownH3045; in wrathH7267 rememberH2142 mercyH7355. {speech: Heb. report, or, hearing} {revive: or, preserve alive}
Hast thou not heardH8085 long agoH7350 how I have doneH6213 it, and of ancientH6924 timesH3117 that I have formedH3335 it? now have I broughtH935 it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay wasteH7582 fencedH1219 citiesH5892 into ruinousH5327 heapsH1530. {long…: or, how I have made it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? should I now bring it to be laid waste, and fenced cities to be ruinous heaps?}
He is the RockH6697, his workH6467 is perfectH8549: for all his waysH1870 are judgmentH4941: a GodH410 of truthH530 and without iniquityH5766, justH6662 and rightH3477 is he.
By thisH2063 therefore shall the iniquityH5771 of JacobH3290 be purgedH3722; and this is all the fruitH6529 to take awayH5493 his sinH2403; when he makethH7760 all the stonesH68 of the altarH4196 as chalkstonesH1615 that are beaten in sunderH5310, the grovesH842 and imagesH2553 shall not stand upH6965. {images: or, sun images}
Before the mountainsH2022 were brought forthH3205, or ever thou hadst formedH2342 the earthH776 and the worldH8398, even from everlastingH5769 toH5704 everlastingH5769, thou art GodH410.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the RedeemerH1350 of IsraelH3478, and his Holy OneH6918, to him whom manH5315 despisethH960, to him whom the nationH1471 abhorrethH8581, to a servantH5650 of rulersH4910, KingsH4428 shall seeH7200 and ariseH6965, princesH8269 also shall worshipH7812, because of the LORDH3068 that is faithfulH539, and the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, and he shall chooseH977 thee. {whom man…: or, that is despised in soul}
AriseH6965, O LORDH3068, disappointH6923 himH6440, cast him downH3766: deliverH6403 my soulH5315 from the wickedH7563, which is thy swordH2719: {disappoint…: Heb. prevent his face} {which is: or, by}
How should oneH259 chaseH7291 a thousandH505, and twoH8147 put tenH7233 thousandH505 to flightH5127, exceptH3808 their RockH6697 had soldH4376 themH3588, and the LORDH3068 had shut them upH5462?
Yet the defencedH1219 cityH5892 shall be desolateH910, and the habitationH5116 forsakenH7971, and leftH5800 like a wildernessH4057: there shall the calfH5695 feedH7462, and there shall he lie downH7257, and consumeH3615 the branchesH5585 thereof.
Thy throneH3678 is establishedH3559 of oldH227: thou art from everlastingH5769. {of old: Heb. from then}
ButG1161 yeG5210 deniedG720 the Holy OneG40 andG2532 the JustG1342, andG2532 desiredG154 a murdererG5406+G435 to be grantedG5483 unto youG5213;
He shall cause them that comeH935 of JacobH3290 to take rootH8327: IsraelH3478 shall blossomH6692 and budH6524, and fillH4390 the faceH6440 of the worldH8398 with fruitH8570.
Hath he smittenH5221 him, as he smoteH4347 those that smoteH5221 him? or is he slainH2026 according to the slaughterH2027 of them that are slainH2026 by him? {as…: Heb. according to the stroke of}
In measureH5432, when it shooteth forthH7971, thou wilt debateH7378 with it: he stayethH1898 his roughH7186 windH7307 in the dayH3117 of the east windH6921. {it shooteth…: or, thou sendest it forth} {he…: or, when he removeth it with}
By thisH2063 therefore shall the iniquityH5771 of JacobH3290 be purgedH3722; and this is all the fruitH6529 to take awayH5493 his sinH2403; when he makethH7760 all the stonesH68 of the altarH4196 as chalkstonesH1615 that are beaten in sunderH5310, the grovesH842 and imagesH2553 shall not stand upH6965. {images: or, sun images}
OH1945 AssyrianH804, the rodH7626 of mine angerH639, and the staffH4294 in their handH3027 is mine indignationH2195. {O…: or, Woe to the Assyrian: Heb. Asshur} {and: or, though}
I will sendH7971 him against an hypocriticalH2611 nationH1471, and against the peopleH5971 of my wrathH5678 will I give him a chargeH6680, to takeH7997 the spoilH7998, and to takeH962 the preyH957, and to tread them downH7760+H4823 like the mireH2563 of the streetsH2351. {tread…: Heb. lay them a treading}
Howbeit he meanethH1819 not so, neither doth his heartH3824 thinkH2803 so; but it is in his heartH3824 to destroyH8045 and cut offH3772 nationsH1471 not a fewH4592.
For I am with thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, to saveH3467 thee: though I makeH6213 a full endH3617 of all nationsH1471 whither I have scatteredH6327 thee, yet will I not makeH6213 a full endH3617 of thee: but I will correctH3256 thee in measureH4941, and will not leave thee altogetherH5352 unpunishedH5352.
Hast thou not knownH3045? hast thou not heardH8085, that the everlastingH5769 GodH430, the LORDH3068, the CreatorH1254 of the endsH7098 of the earthH776, faintethH3286 not, neither is wearyH3021? there is no searchingH2714 of his understandingH8394.
For thus hath the LORDH3068 saidH559, The whole landH776 shall be desolateH8077; yet will I not makeH6213 a full endH3617.
Hast thou not heardH8085 long agoH7350, how I have doneH6213 it; and of ancientH6924 timesH3117, that I have formedH3335 it? now have I broughtH935 it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay wasteH7582 defencedH1219 citiesH5892 into ruinousH5327 heapsH1530. {Hast…: or, Hast thou not heard how I have made it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? should I now bring it to be laid waste, and defenced cities to be ruinous heaps?}
There is none holyH6918 as the LORDH3068: for there is none besideH1115 thee: neither is there any rockH6697 like our GodH430.
I have surelyH8085 heardH8085 EphraimH669 bemoaningH5110 himself thus; Thou hast chastisedH3256 me, and I was chastisedH3256, as a bullockH5695 unaccustomedH3808+H3925 to the yoke: turnH7725 thou me, and I shall be turnedH7725; for thou art the LORDH3068 my GodH430.
Surely afterH310 that I was turnedH7725, I repentedH5162; and afterH310 that I was instructedH3045, I smoteH5606 upon my thighH3409: I was ashamedH954, yea, even confoundedH3637, because I did bearH5375 the reproachH2781 of my youthH5271.
Is EphraimH669 my dearH3357 sonH1121? is he a pleasantH8191 childH3206? for sinceH1767 I spakeH1696 against him, I do earnestlyH2142 rememberH2142 him still: therefore my bowelsH4578 are troubledH1993 for him; I will surelyH7355 have mercyH7355 upon him, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {are…: Heb. sound}
For thus saithH559 the highH7311 and lofty OneH5375 that inhabitethH7931 eternityH5703, whose nameH8034 is HolyH6918; I dwellH7931 in the highH4791 and holyH6918 place, with him also that is of a contriteH1793 and humbleH8217 spiritH7307, to reviveH2421 the spiritH7307 of the humbleH8217, and to reviveH2421 the heartH3820 of the contrite onesH1792.
Nevertheless in those daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, I will not makeH6213 a full endH3617 with you.
Behold, I will sendH7971 and takeH3947 all the familiesH4940 of the northH6828, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and NebuchadrezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, my servantH5650, and will bringH935 them against this landH776, and against the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, and against all these nationsH1471 round aboutH5439, and will utterly destroyH2763 them, and makeH7760 them an astonishmentH8047, and an hissingH8322, and perpetualH5769 desolationsH2723.
Moreover I will takeH6 from them the voiceH6963 of mirthH8342, and the voiceH6963 of gladnessH8057, the voiceH6963 of the bridegroomH2860, and the voiceH6963 of the brideH3618, the soundH6963 of the millstonesH7347, and the lightH216 of the candleH5216. {I will…: Heb. I will cause to perish from them}
And this whole landH776 shall be a desolationH2723, and an astonishmentH8047; and these nationsH1471 shall serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 seventyH7657 yearsH8141.
And it shall come to pass, when seventyH7657 yearsH8141 are accomplishedH4390, that I will punishH6485 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and that nationH1471, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, for their iniquityH5771, and the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778, and will makeH7760 it perpetualH5769 desolationsH8077. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
And I will bringH935 upon that landH776 all my wordsH1697 which I have pronouncedH1696 against it, even all that is writtenH3789 in this bookH5612, which JeremiahH3414 hath prophesiedH5012 against all the nationsH1471.
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.
To the chief MusicianH5329, A Psalm of DavidH1732, the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068, who spakeH1696 unto the LORDH3068 the wordsH1697 of this songH7892 in the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 deliveredH5337 him from the handH3709 of all his enemiesH341, and from the handH3027 of SaulH7586: And he saidH559, I will loveH7355 thee, O LORDH3068, my strengthH2391.
FearH3372 thou not, O JacobH3290 my servantH5650, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: for I am with thee; for I will makeH6213 a full endH3617 of all the nationsH1471 whither I have drivenH5080 thee: but I will not makeH6213 a full endH3617 of thee, but correctH3256 thee in measureH4941; yet will I not leave thee whollyH5352 unpunishedH5352. {not leave…: or, not utterly cut thee off}
Thou, O LORDH3068, remainestH3427 for everH5769; thy throneH3678 from generationH1755 to generationH1755.
For I am with thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, to saveH3467 thee: though I makeH6213 a full endH3617 of all nationsH1471 whither I have scatteredH6327 thee, yet will I not makeH6213 a full endH3617 of thee: but I will correctH3256 thee in measureH4941, and will not leave thee altogetherH5352 unpunishedH5352.
But I will strengthenH2388 the armsH2220 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and the armsH2220 of PharaohH6547 shall fall downH5307; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I shall putH5414 my swordH2719 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he shall stretch it outH5186 upon the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
AndG2532 ye have forgottenG1585 the exhortationG3874 whichG3748 speakethG1256 unto youG5213 asG5613 unto childrenG5207, MyG3450 sonG5207, despiseG3643 notG3361 thouG3643 the chasteningG3809 of the LordG2962, norG3366 faintG1590 when thou art rebukedG1651 ofG5259 himG846:
But thou, BethlehemH1035 EphratahH672, though thou be littleH6810 among the thousandsH505 of JudahH3063, yet out of thee shall he come forthH3318 unto me that is to be rulerH4910 in IsraelH3478; whose goings forthH4163 have been from of oldH6924, from everlastingH3117+H5769. {everlasting: Heb. the days of eternity}
ConsiderestH7200 thou not what this peopleH5971 have spokenH1696, sayingH559, The twoH8147 familiesH4940 which the LORDH3068 hath chosenH977, he hath even cast them offH3988? thus they have despisedH5006 my peopleH5971, that they should be no more a nationH1471 beforeH6440 them.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; If my covenantH1285 be not with dayH3119 and nightH3915, and if I have not appointedH7760 the ordinancesH2708 of heavenH8064 and earthH776;
ThenH1571 will I cast awayH3988 the seedH2233 of JacobH3290, and DavidH1732 my servantH5650, so that I will not takeH3947 any of his seedH2233 to be rulersH4910 over the seedH2233 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3446, and JacobH3290: for I will cause their captivityH7622 to returnH7725+H7725, and have mercyH7355 on them.
ForG1063 whomG3739 the LordG2962 lovethG25 he chastenethG3811, andG1161 scourgethG3146 everyG3956 sonG5207 whomG3739 he receivethG3858.
NowG1161 unto the KingG935 eternalG165, immortalG862, invisibleG517, the onlyG3441 wiseG4680 GodG2316, be honourG5092 andG2532 gloryG1391 forG1519 everG165 and everG165. AmenG281.
FearH3372 thou not, O JacobH3290 my servantH5650, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: for I am with thee; for I will makeH6213 a full endH3617 of all the nationsH1471 whither I have drivenH5080 thee: but I will not makeH6213 a full endH3617 of thee, but correctH3256 thee in measureH4941; yet will I not leave thee whollyH5352 unpunishedH5352. {not leave…: or, not utterly cut thee off}
WhoG3588 onlyG3441 hathG2192 immortalityG110, dwellingG3611 in the lightG5457 which no manG3762 can approach untoG676; whomG3739 no manG444 hath seenG1492, norG3761 canG1410 seeG1492: to whomG3739 be honourG5092 andG2532 powerG2904 everlastingG166. AmenG281.
Then he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, these bonesH6106 are the whole houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: behold, they sayH559, Our bonesH6106 are driedH3001, and our hopeH8615 is lostH6: we are cut offH1504 for our parts.
Therefore prophesyH5012 and sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, O my peopleH5971, I will openH6605 your gravesH6913, and cause you to come upH5927 out of your gravesH6913, and bringH935 you into the landH127 of IsraelH3478.
And ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I have openedH6605 your gravesH6913, O my peopleH5971, and brought you upH5927 out of your gravesH6913,
And shall putH5414 my spiritH7307 in you, and ye shall liveH2421, and I shall placeH3240 you in your own landH127: then shall ye knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it, and performedH6213 it, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
AndG2532, ThouG4771, LordG2962, inG2596 the beginningG746 hast laid the foundationG2311 of the earthG1093; andG2532 the heavensG3772 areG1526 the worksG2041 of thineG4675 handsG5495:
TheyG846 shall perishG622; butG1161 thouG4771 remainestG1265; andG2532 they allG3956 shall wax oldG3822 asG5613 doth a garmentG2440;
AndG2532 asG5616 a vestureG4018 shalt thou foldG1667 themG846 upG1667, andG2532 they shall be changedG236: butG1161 thouG4771 artG1488 the sameG846, andG2532 thyG4675 yearsG2094 shallG1587 notG3756 failG1587.
Behold, the eyesH5869 of the LordH136 GODH3069 are upon the sinfulH2403 kingdomH4467, and I will destroyH8045 it from off the faceH6440 of the earthH127; savingH657 that I will not utterlyH8045 destroyH8045 the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
JesusG2424 ChristG5547 the sameG846 yesterdayG5504, andG2532 to dayG4594, andG2532 forG1519 everG165.
For, lo, I will commandH6680, and I will siftH5128 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 among all nationsH1471, like as corn is siftedH5128 in a sieveH3531, yet shall not the least grainH6872 fallH5307 upon the earthH776. {sift: Heb. cause to move} {grain: Heb. stone}
IG1473 amG1510 AlphaG1 andG2532 OmegaG5598, the beginningG746 andG2532 the endingG5056, saithG3004 the LordG2962, whichG3588 isG5607+G3801, andG2532 whichG3588 wasG2258+G3801, andG2532 whichG3588 is to comeG2064+G3801, the AlmightyG3841.
SayingG3004, IG1473 amG1510 AlphaG1 andG2532 OmegaG5598, the firstG4413 andG2532 the lastG2078: andG2532, WhatG3739 thou seestG991, writeG1125 inG1519 a bookG975, andG2532 sendG3992 it unto the sevenG2033 churchesG1577 whichG3588 are inG1722 AsiaG773; untoG1519 EphesusG2181, andG2532 untoG1519 SmyrnaG4667, andG2532 untoG1519 PergamosG4010, andG2532 untoG1519 ThyatiraG2363, andG2532 untoG1519 SardisG4554, andG2532 untoG1519 PhiladelphiaG5359, andG2532 untoG1519 LaodiceaG2993.
