Habakkuk 1
1:1

The burden4853 which Habakkuk2265 the prophet5030 did see.2372

1:2

O Yahweh,3068 how long shall I cry,7768 and thou wilt not hear!8085 even cry out2199 unto thee of violence,2555 and thou wilt not save!3467

1:3

Why dost thou shew7200 me iniquity,205 and cause me to behold5027 grievance?5999 for spoiling7701 and violence2555 are before me: and there are that raise up5375 strife7379 and contention.4066

1:4

Therefore the law8451 is slacked,6313 and judgment4941 doth never3808 go forth:3318 for the wicked7563 doth compass3803 about the righteous;6662 therefore wrong6127 judgment4941 proceedeth.3318

1:5

Behold7200 ye among the heathen,1471 and regard,5027 and wonder8539 marvellously:8539 for I will work6466 a work6467 in your days,3117 which ye will not believe,539 though it be told5608 you.

1:6

For, lo, I raise up6965 the Chaldeans,3778 that bitter4751 and hasty4116 nation,1471 which shall march1980 through the breadth4800 of the land,776 to possess3423 the dwellingplaces4908 that are not theirs.

1:7

They are terrible366 and dreadful:3372 their judgment4941 and their dignity7613 shall proceed3318 of themselves.

1:8

Their horses5483 also are swifter7043 than the leopards,5246 and are more fierce2300 than the evening6153 wolves:2061 and their horsemen6571 shall spread6335 themselves, and their horsemen6571 shall come935 from far;7350 they shall fly5774 as the eagle5404 that hasteth2363 to eat.398

1:9

They shall come935 all for violence:2555 their faces6440 shall sup up4041 as the east wind,6921 and they shall gather622 the captivity7628 as the sand.2344

1:10

And they shall scoff7046 at the kings,4428 and the princes7336 shall be a scorn4890 unto them: they shall deride7832 every strong hold;4013 for they shall heap6651 dust,6083 and take3920 it.

1:11

Then shall his mind7307 change,2498 and he shall pass over,5674 and offend,816 imputing this2098 his power3581 unto his eloah.433

1:12

Art thou not from everlasting,6924 O Yahweh3068 my Elohim,430 mine Holy One?6918 we shall not die.4191 O Yahweh,3068 thou hast ordained7760 them for judgment;4941 and, O mighty Rock,6697 thou hast established3245 them for correction.3198

1:13

Thou art of purer2889 eyes5869 than to behold7200 evil,7451 and canst3201 not look5027 on iniquity:5999 wherefore lookest5027 thou upon them that deal treacherously,898 and holdest thy tongue2790 when the wicked7563 devoureth1104 the man that is more righteous6662 than he?

1:14

And makest6213 men120 as the fishes1709 of the sea,3220 as the creeping things,7431 that have no ruler4910 over them?

1:15

They take up5927 all of them with the angle,2443 they catch1641 them in their net,2764 and gather622 them in their drag:4365 therefore they rejoice8055 and are glad.1523

1:16

Therefore they sacrifice2076 unto their net,2764 and burn incense6999 unto their drag;4365 because by them1992 their portion2506 is fat,8082 and their meat3978 plenteous.1277

1:17

Shall they therefore empty7324 their net,2764 and not spare2550 continually8548 to slay2026 the nations?1471
