Habakkuk 2:1-20

I will stand
<05975> (8799)
upon my watch
<04931>_,
and set
<03320> (8691)
me upon the tower
<04692>_,
and will watch
<06822> (8762)
to see
<07200> (8800)
what he will say
<01696> (8762)
unto me, and what I shall answer
<07725> (8686)
when I am reproved
<08433>_.
{tower: Heb. fenced place} {unto me: or, in me} {when...: or, when I am argued with: Heb. upon my reproof, or, arguing}
And the LORD
<03068>
answered
<06030> (8799)
me, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Write
<03789> (8798)
the vision
<02377>_,
and make [it] plain
<0874> (8761)
upon tables
<03871>_,
that he may run
<07323> (8799)
that readeth
<07121> (8802)
it.
For the vision
<02377>
[is] yet for an appointed time
<04150>_,
but at the end
<07093>
it shall speak
<06315> (8686)_,
and not lie
<03576> (8762)_:
though it tarry
<04102> (8698)_,
wait
<02442> (8761)
for it; because it will surely
<0935> (8800)
come
<0935> (8799)_,
it will not tarry
<0309> (8762)_.
Behold, his soul
<05315>
[which] is lifted up
<06075> (8795)
is not upright
<03474> (8804)
in him: but the just
<06662>
shall live
<02421> (8799)
by his faith
<0530>_.
Yea also, because he transgresseth
<0898> (8802)
by wine
<03196>_,
[he is] a proud
<03093>
man
<01397>_,
neither keepeth at home
<05115> (8799)_,
who enlargeth
<07337> (8689)
his desire
<05315>
as hell
<07585>_,
and [is] as death
<04194>_,
and cannot be satisfied
<07646> (8799)_,
but gathereth
<0622> (8799)
unto him all nations
<01471>_,
and heapeth
<06908> (8799)
unto him all people
<05971>_:
{Yea...: or, How much more}
Shall not all these take up
<05375> (8799)
a parable
<04912>
against him, and a taunting
<04426>
proverb
<02420>
against him, and say
<0559> (8799)_,
Woe
<01945>
to him that increaseth
<07235> (8688)
[that which is] not his! how long? and to him that ladeth
<03513> (8688)
himself with thick clay
<05671>_!
{Woe...: or, Ho, he}
Shall they not rise up
<06965> (8799)
suddenly
<06621>
that shall bite
<05391> (8802)
thee, and awake
<03364> (8799)
that shall vex
<02111> (8772)
thee, and thou shalt be for booties
<04933>
unto them?
Because thou hast spoiled
<07997> (8804)
many
<07227>
nations
<01471>_,
all the remnant
<03499>
of the people
<05971>
shall spoil
<07997> (8799)
thee; because of men's
<0120>
blood
<01818>_,
and [for] the violence
<02555>
of the land
<0776>_,
of the city
<07151>_,
and of all that dwell
<03427> (8802)
therein. {blood: Heb. bloods}
Woe
<01945>
to him that coveteth
<01214> (8802)
an evil
<07451>
covetousness
<01215>
to his house
<01004>_,
that he may set
<07760> (8800)
his nest
<07064>
on high
<04791>_,
that he may be delivered
<05337> (8736)
from the power
<03709>
of evil
<07451>_!
{coveteth...: or, gaineth and evil gain} {power...: Heb. palm of the hand}
Thou hast consulted
<03289> (8804)
shame
<01322>
to thy house
<01004>
by cutting off
<07096> (8800)
many
<07227>
people
<05971>_,
and hast sinned
<02398> (8802)
[against] thy soul
<05315>_.
For the stone
<068>
shall cry out
<02199> (8799)
of the wall
<07023>_,
and the beam out
<03714>
of the timber
<06086>
shall answer
<06030> (8799)
it. {beam: or, piece, or, fastening} {answer it: or, witness against it}
Woe
<01945>
to him that buildeth
<01129> (8802)
a town
<05892>
with blood
<01818>_,
and stablisheth
<03559> (8790)
a city
<07151>
by iniquity
<05766>_!
{blood: Heb. bloods}
Behold, [is it] not of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
that the people
<05971>
shall labour
<03021> (8799)
in the very
<01767>
fire
<0784>_,
and the people
<03816>
shall weary
<03286> (8799)
themselves for very
<01767>
vanity
<07385>_?
{for...: or, in vain?}
For the earth
<0776>
shall be filled
<04390> (8735)
with the knowledge
<03045> (8800)
of the glory
<03519>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
as the waters
<04325>
cover
<03680> (8762)
the sea
<03220>_.
{with...: or, by knowing the glory}
Woe
<01945>
unto him that giveth his neighbour
<07453>
drink
<08248> (8688)_,
that puttest
<05596> (8764)
thy bottle
<02573>
to [him], and makest [him] drunken
<07937> (8763)
also, that thou mayest look
<05027> (8687)
on their nakedness
<04589>_!
Thou art filled
<07646> (8804)
with shame
<07036>
for glory
<03519>_:
drink
<08354> (8798)
thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered
<06188> (8734)_:
the cup
<03563>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
right hand
<03225>
shall be turned
<05437> (8735)
unto thee, and shameful spewing
<07022>
[shall be] on thy glory
<03519>_.
{with...: or, more with shame than with glory}
For the violence
<02555>
of Lebanon
<03844>
shall cover
<03680> (8762)
thee, and the spoil
<07701>
of beasts
<0929>_,
[which] made them afraid
<02865> (8686)_,
because of men's
<0120>
blood
<01818>_,
and for the violence
<02555>
of the land
<0776>_,
of the city
<07151>_,
and of all that dwell
<03427> (8802)
therein.
What profiteth
<03276> (8689)
the graven image
<06459>
that the maker
<03335> (8802)
thereof hath graven
<06458> (8804)
it; the molten image
<04541>_,
and a teacher
<03384> (8688)
of lies
<08267>_,
that the maker
<03335> (8802)
of his work
<03336>
trusteth
<0982> (8804)
therein, to make
<06213> (8800)
dumb
<0483>
idols
<0457>_?
{maker of...: Heb. fashioner of his fashion}
Woe
<01945>
unto him that saith
<0559> (8802)
to the wood
<06086>_,
Awake
<06974> (8685)_;
to the dumb
<01748>
stone
<068>_,
Arise
<05782> (8798)_,
it shall teach
<03384> (8686)_!
Behold, it [is] laid
<08610> (8803)
over with gold
<02091>
and silver
<03701>_,
and [there is] no breath
<07307>
at all in the midst
<07130>
of it.
But the LORD
<03068>
[is] in his holy
<06944>
temple
<01964>_:
let all the earth
<0776>
keep silence
<02013> (8761)
before
<06440>
him. {let...: Heb. be silent all the earth before him}
