Habakkuk 1:1--3:19

The burden
<04853>

which Habakkuk
<02265>

the prophet
<05030>

did see
<02372> (8804)_.

O LORD
<03068>_,

how long shall I cry
<07768> (8765)_,

and thou wilt not hear
<08085> (8799)_!

[even] cry out
<02199> (8799)

unto thee [of] violence
<02555>_,

and thou wilt not save
<03467> (8686)_!

Why dost thou shew
<07200> (8686)

me iniquity
<0205>_,

and cause [me] to behold
<05027> (8686)

grievance
<05999>_?

for spoiling
<07701>

and violence
<02555>

[are] before me: and there are [that] raise up
<05375> (8799)

strife
<07379>

and contention
<04066>_.

Therefore the law
<08451>

is slacked
<06313> (8799)_,

and judgment
<04941>

doth never
<05331>

go forth
<03318> (8799)_:

for the wicked
<07563>

doth compass
<03803> (8688)

about the righteous
<06662>_;

therefore wrong
<06127> (8794)

judgment
<04941>

proceedeth
<03318> (8799)_.

{wrong: or, wrested}

Behold
<07200> (8798)

ye among the heathen
<01471>_,

and regard
<05027> (8685)_,

and wonder
<08539> (8690)

marvellously
<08539> (8798)_:

for [I] will work
<06466> (8802)

a work
<06467>

in your days
<03117>_,

[which] ye will not believe
<0539> (8686)_,

though it be told
<05608> (8792)

[you].

For, lo, I raise up
<06965> (8688)

the Chaldeans
<03778>_,

[that] bitter
<04751>

and hasty
<04116> (8737)

nation
<01471>_,

which shall march
<01980> (8802)

through the breadth
<04800>

of the land
<0776>_,

to possess
<03423> (8800)

the dwellingplaces
<04908>

[that are] not theirs. {breadth: Heb. breadths}

They [are] terrible
<0366>

and dreadful
<03372> (8737)_:

their judgment
<04941>

and their dignity
<07613>

shall proceed
<03318> (8799)

of themselves. {their judgment...: or, from them shall proceed the judgment of these, and the captivity of these}

Their horses
<05483>

also are swifter
<07043> (8804)

than the leopards
<05246>_,

and are more fierce
<02300> (8804)

than the evening
<06153>

wolves
<02061>_:

and their horsemen
<06571>

shall spread
<06335> (8804)

themselves, and their horsemen
<06571>

shall come
<0935> (8799)

from far
<07350>_;

they shall fly
<05774> (8799)

as the eagle
<05404>

[that] hasteth
<02363> (8804)

to eat
<0398> (8800)_.

{fierce: Heb. sharp}

They shall come
<0935> (8799)

all for violence
<02555>_:

their faces
<06440>

shall sup up
<04041>

[as] the east wind
<06921>_,

and they shall gather
<0622> (8799)

the captivity
<07628>

as the sand
<02344>_.

{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 scoff
<07046> (8691)

at the kings
<04428>_,

and the princes
<07336> (8802)

shall be a scorn
<04890>

unto them: they shall deride
<07832> (8799)

every strong hold
<04013>_;

for they shall heap
<06651> (8799)

dust
<06083>_,

and take
<03920> (8799)

it.

Then shall [his] mind
<07307>

change
<02498> (8804)_,

and he shall pass over
<05674> (8799)_,

and offend
<0816> (8804)_,

[imputing] this
<02098>

his power
<03581>

unto his god
<0433>_.

[Art] thou not from everlasting
<06924>_,

O LORD
<03068>

my God
<0430>_,

mine Holy One
<06918>_?

we shall not die
<04191> (8799)_.

O LORD
<03068>_,

thou hast ordained
<07760> (8804)

them for judgment
<04941>_;

and, O mighty God
<06697>_,

thou hast established
<03245> (8804)

them for correction
<03198> (8687)_.

{mighty...: Heb. rock} {established: Heb. founded}

[Thou art] of purer
<02889>

eyes
<05869>

than to behold
<07200> (8800)

evil
<07451>_,

and canst
<03201> (8799)

not look
<05027> (8687)

on iniquity
<05999>_:

wherefore lookest
<05027> (8686)

thou upon them that deal treacherously
<0898> (8802)_,

[and] holdest thy tongue
<02790> (8686)

when the wicked
<07563>

devoureth
<01104> (8763)

[the man that is] more righteous
<06662>

than he? {iniquity: or, grievance}

And makest
<06213> (8799)

men
<0120>

as the fishes
<01709>

of the sea
<03220>_,

as the creeping things
<07431>_,

[that have] no ruler
<04910> (8802)

over them? {creeping: or, moving}

They take up
<05927> (8689)

all of them with the angle
<02443>_,

they catch
<01641> (8799)

them in their net
<02764>_,

and gather
<0622> (8799)

them in their drag
<04365>_:

therefore they rejoice
<08055> (8799)

and are glad
<01523> (8799)_.

{drag: or, flue net}

Therefore they sacrifice
<02076> (8762)

unto their net
<02764>_,

and burn incense
<06999> (8762)

unto their drag
<04365>_;

because by them
<01992>

their portion
<02506>

[is] fat
<08082>_,

and their meat
<03978>

plenteous
<01277>_.

{plenteous: or, dainty: Heb. fat}

Shall they therefore empty
<07324> (8686)

their net
<02764>_,

and not spare
<02550> (8799)

continually
<08548>

to slay
<02026> (8800)

the nations
<01471>_?

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}

A prayer
<08605>

of Habakkuk
<02265>

the prophet
<05030>

upon Shigionoth
<07692>_.

{upon...: or, according to variable songs, or, tunes, called in Hebrew, Shigionoth}

O LORD
<03068>_,

I have heard
<08085> (8804)

thy speech
<08088>_,

[and] was afraid
<03372> (8804)_:

O LORD
<03068>_,

revive
<02421> (8761)

thy work
<06467>

in the midst
<07130>

of the years
<08141>_,

in the midst
<07130>

of the years
<08141>

make known
<03045> (8686)_;

in wrath
<07267>

remember
<02142> (8799)

mercy
<07355> (8763)_.

{speech: Heb. report, or, hearing} {revive: or, preserve alive}

God
<0433>

came
<0935> (8799)

from Teman
<08487>_,

and the Holy One
<06918>

from mount
<02022>

Paran
<06290>_.

Selah
<05542>_.

His glory
<01935>

covered
<03680> (8765)

the heavens
<08064>_,

and the earth
<0776>

was full
<04390> (8804)

of his praise
<08416>_.

{Teman: or, the south}

And [his] brightness
<05051>

was as the light
<0216>_;

he had horns
<07161>

[coming] out of his hand
<03027>_:

and there [was] the hiding
<02253>

of his power
<05797>_.

{horns...: or, bright beams out of his side}

Before
<06440>

him went
<03212> (8799)

the pestilence
<01698>_,

and burning coals
<07565>

went forth
<03318> (8799)

at his feet
<07272>_.

{coals: or, diseases}

He stood
<05975> (8804)_,

and measured
<04128> (8787)

the earth
<0776>_:

he beheld
<07200> (8804)_,

and drove asunder
<05425> (8686)

the nations
<01471>_;

and the everlasting
<05703>

mountains
<02042>

were scattered
<06327> (8691)_,

the perpetual
<05769>

hills
<01389>

did bow
<07817> (8804)_:

his ways
<01979>

[are] everlasting
<05769>_.

I saw
<07200> (8804)

the tents
<0168>

of Cushan
<03572>

in affliction
<0205>_:

[and] the curtains
<03407>

of the land
<0776>

of Midian
<04080>

did tremble
<07264> (8799)_.

{Cushan: or, Ethiopia} {in...: or, under affliction, or, vanity}

Was the LORD
<03068>

displeased
<02734> (8804)

against the rivers
<05104>_?

[was] thine anger
<0639>

against the rivers
<05104>_?

[was] thy wrath
<05678>

against the sea
<03220>_,

that thou didst ride
<07392> (8799)

upon thine horses
<05483>

[and] thy chariots
<04818>

of salvation
<03444>_?

{of...: or, were salvation?}

Thy bow
<07198>

was made quite
<06181>

naked
<05783> (8735)_,

[according] to the oaths
<07621>

of the tribes
<04294>_,

[even thy] word
<0562>_.

Selah
<05542>_.

Thou didst cleave
<01234> (8762)

the earth
<0776>

with rivers
<05104>_.

{earth...: or, rivers of the earth}

The mountains
<02022>

saw
<07200> (8804)

thee, [and] they trembled
<02342> (8799)_:

the overflowing
<02230>

of the water
<04325>

passed by
<05674> (8804)_:

the deep
<08415>

uttered
<05414> (8804)

his voice
<06963>_,

[and] lifted up
<05375> (8804)

his hands
<03027>

on high
<07315>_.

The sun
<08121>

[and] moon
<03394>

stood still
<05975> (8804)

in their habitation
<02073>_:

at the light
<0216>

of thine arrows
<02671>

they went
<01980> (8762)_,

[and] at the shining
<05051>

of thy glittering
<01300>

spear
<02595>_.

{at the light...: or, thine arrows walked in the light}

Thou didst march through
<06805> (8799)

the land
<0776>

in indignation
<02195>_,

thou didst thresh
<01758> (8799)

the heathen
<01471>

in anger
<0639>_.

Thou wentest forth
<03318> (8804)

for the salvation
<03468>

of thy people
<05971>_,

[even] for salvation
<03468>

with thine anointed
<04899>_;

thou woundedst
<04272> (8804)

the head
<07218>

out of the house
<01004>

of the wicked
<07563>_,

by discovering
<06168> (8763)

the foundation
<03247>

unto the neck
<06677>_.

Selah
<05542>_.

{by...: Heb. making naked}

Thou didst strike through
<05344> (8804)

with his staves
<04294>

the head
<07218>

of his villages
<06518>_:

they came out as a whirlwind
<05590> (8799)

to scatter
<06327> (8687)

me: their rejoicing
<05951>

[was] as to devour
<0398> (8800)

the poor
<06041>

secretly
<04565>_.

{came...: Heb. were tempestuous}

Thou didst walk
<01869> (8804)

through the sea
<03220>

with thine horses
<05483>_,

[through] the heap
<02563>

of great
<07227>

waters
<04325>_.

{heap: or, mud}

When I heard
<08085> (8804)_,

my belly
<0990>

trembled
<07264> (8799)_;

my lips
<08193>

quivered
<06750> (8804)

at the voice
<06963>_:

rottenness
<07538>

entered
<0935> (8799)

into my bones
<06106>_,

and I trembled
<07264> (8799)

in myself, that I might rest
<05117> (8799)

in the day
<03117>

of trouble
<06869>_:

when he cometh up
<05927> (8800)

unto the people
<05971>_,

he will invade them with his troops
<01464> (8799)_.

{invade...: or, cut them in pieces}

Although the fig tree
<08384>

shall not blossom
<06524> (8799)_,

neither [shall] fruit
<02981>

[be] in the vines
<01612>_;

the labour
<04639>

of the olive
<02132>

shall fail
<03584> (8765)_,

and the fields
<07709>

shall yield
<06213> (8804)

no meat
<0400>_;

the flock
<06629>

shall be cut off
<01504> (8804)

from the fold
<04356>_,

and [there shall be] no herd
<01241>

in the stalls
<07517>_:

{fail: Heb. lie}

Yet I will rejoice
<05937> (8799)

in the LORD
<03068>_,

I will joy
<01523> (8799)

in the God
<0430>

of my salvation
<03468>_.

The LORD
<03069>

God
<0136>

[is] my strength
<02428>_,

and he will make
<07760> (8799)

my feet
<07272>

like hinds
<0355>_'

[feet], and he will make me to walk
<01869> (8686)

upon mine high places
<01116>_.

To the chief singer
<05329> (8764)

on my stringed instruments
<05058>_.

{chief...: or, overseer} {stringed...: Heb. Neginoth}
