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?
Querverweise zu Habakuk 1,13 Hab 1,13
Behold, he putteth no trustH539 in his saintsH6918; yea, the heavensH8064 are not cleanH2141 in his sightH5869.
Why standestH5975 thou afar offH7350, O LORDH3068? why hidestH5956 thou thyself in timesH6256 of troubleH6869?
A grievousH7186 visionH2380 is declaredH5046 unto me; the treacherous dealerH898 dealeth treacherouslyH898, and the spoilerH7703 spoilethH7703. Go upH5927, O ElamH5867: besiegeH6696, O MediaH4074; all the sighingH585 thereof have I made to ceaseH7673. {grievous: Heb. hard}
For if thou altogetherH2790 holdest thy peaceH2790 at this timeH6256, then shall there enlargementH7305 and deliveranceH2020 ariseH5975 to the JewsH3064 from anotherH312 placeH4725; but thou and thy father'sH1 houseH1004 shall be destroyedH6: and who knowethH3045 whether thou art comeH5060 to the kingdomH4438 for such a timeH6256 as this? {enlargement: Heb. respiration}
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.
For thou art not a GodH410 that hath pleasureH2655 in wickednessH7562: neither shall evilH7451 dwellH1481 with thee.
The wickedH7563 in his prideH1346 doth persecuteH1814 the poorH6041: let them be takenH8610 in the devicesH4209 thatH2098 they have imaginedH2803. {The wicked…: Heb. In the pride of the wicked he doth persecute}
WoeH1945 to thee that spoilestH7703, and thou wast not spoiledH7703; and dealest treacherouslyH898, and they dealt not treacherouslyH898 with thee! when thou shalt ceaseH8552 to spoilH7703, thou shalt be spoiledH7703; and when thou shalt make an endH5239 to deal treacherouslyH898, they shall deal treacherouslyH898 with thee.
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}
The foolishH1984 shall not standH3320 in thy sightH5869: thou hatestH8130 all workersH6466 of iniquityH205. {in…: Heb. before thine eyes}
BreakH7665 thou the armH2220 of the wickedH7563 and the evilH7451 man: seek outH1875 his wickednessH7562 till thou findH4672 noneH1077.
Our GodH430 shall comeH935, and shall not keep silenceH2790: a fireH784 shall devourH398 beforeH6440 him, and it shall be veryH3966 tempestuousH8175 round aboutH5439 him.
How much more, when wickedH7563 menH582 have slainH2026 a righteousH6662 personH376 in his own houseH1004 upon his bedH4904? shall I not therefore now requireH1245 his bloodH1818 of your handH3027, and take you awayH1197 from the earthH776?
The LORDH3068 is in his holyH6944 templeH1964, the LORD'SH3068 throneH3678 is in heavenH8064: his eyesH5869 beholdH2372, his eyelidsH6079 tryH974, the childrenH1121 of menH120.
The LORDH3068 triethH974 the righteousH6662: but the wickedH7563 and him that lovethH157 violenceH2555 his soulH5315 hatethH8130.
Upon the wickedH7563 he shall rainH4305 snaresH6341, fireH784 and brimstoneH1614, and an horribleH2152 tempestH7307: this shall be the portionH4521 of their cupH3563. {an horrible…: or, a burning tempest}
For the righteousH6662 LORDH3068 lovethH157 righteousnessH6666; his countenanceH6440 doth beholdH2372 the uprightH3477.
These things hast thou doneH6213, and I kept silenceH2790; thou thoughtestH1819 that I was altogetherH1961 such an one as thyself: but I will reproveH3198 thee, and set them in orderH6186 before thine eyesH5869.
And the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725 his bloodH1818 upon his own headH7218, who fellH6293 upon twoH8147 menH582 more righteousH6662 and betterH2896 than he, and slewH2026 them with the swordH2719, my fatherH1 DavidH1732 not knowingH3045 thereof, to wit, AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of IsraelH3478, and AmasaH6021 the sonH1121 of JetherH3500, captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of JudahH3063.
The eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068 are upon the righteousH6662, and his earsH241 are open unto their cryH7775.
RighteousH6662 art thou, O LORDH3068, when I pleadH7378 with thee: yet let me talkH1696 with thee of thy judgmentsH4941: Wherefore doth the wayH1870 of the wickedH7563 prosperH6743? wherefore are all they happyH7951 that deal veryH899 treacherouslyH898? {talk…: or, reason the case with thee}
A SongH7892 or PsalmH4210 of AsaphH623. Keep not thou silenceH1824, O GodH430: hold not thy peaceH2790, and be not stillH8252, O GodH410. {of Asaph: or, for Asaph}
The wickedH7563 plottethH2161 against the justH6662, and gnashethH2786 upon him with his teethH8127. {plotteth: or, practiseth}
The LordH136 shall laughH7832 at him: for he seethH7200 that his dayH3117 is comingH935.
The wickedH7563 have drawn outH6605 the swordH2719, and have bentH1869 their bowH7198, to cast downH5307 the poorH6041 and needyH34, and to slayH2873 such as be of uprightH3477 conversationH1870. {such…: Heb. the upright of way}
Their swordH2719 shall enterH935 into their own heartH3820, and their bowsH7198 shall be brokenH7665.
The faceH6440 of the LORDH3068 is against them that doH6213 evilH7451, to cut offH3772 the remembranceH2143 of them from the earthH776.
Thou hast plantedH5193 them, yea, they have taken rootH8327: they growH3212, yea, they bring forthH6213 fruitH6529: thou art nearH7138 in their mouthH6310, and far fromH7350 their reinsH3629. {they grow: Heb. they go on}
OpenH6605 thy mouthH6310 for the dumbH483 in the causeH1779 of all such as are appointedH1121 to destructionH2475. {such…: Heb. the sons of destruction}
ButG235 asG2596 he which hath calledG2564 youG5209 is holyG40, soG2532 beG1096 yeG846 holyG40 inG1722 allG3956 manner of conversationG391;
OpenH6605 thy mouthH6310, judgeH8199 righteouslyH6664, and pleadH1777 the cause of the poorH6041 and needyH34.
The LORDH3068 will not leaveH5800 him in his handH3027, nor condemnH7561 him when he is judgedH8199.
Wilt thou refrainH662 thyself for these things, O LORDH3068? wilt thou hold thy peaceH2814, and afflictH6031 us very soreH3966?
To the chief MusicianH5329 upon JonathelemrechokimH3128, MichtamH4387 of DavidH1732, when the PhilistinesH6430 tookH270 him in GathH1661. Be mercifulH2603 unto me, O GodH430: for manH582 would swallow me upH7602; he fightingH3898 dailyH3117 oppressethH3905 me. {Michtam…: or, A golden Psalm of David}
Mine enemiesH8324 would dailyH3117 swallowH7602 me up: for they be manyH7227 that fightH3898 against me, O thou most HighH4791. {enemies: Heb. observers}
