{Habakkuk 1:1} The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see. {Habakkuk 1:2} O LORD,
how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! [even] cry out unto thee
[of] violence, and thou wilt not save! {Habakkuk 1:3} Why dost thou shew me
iniquity, and cause [me] to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence
[are] before me: and there are [that] raise up strife and contention.
{Habakkuk 1:4} Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth:
for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong
judgment proceedeth.

{Habakkuk 1:5} Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.

{Habakkuk 1:6} For, lo, I raise up the
Chaldeans, [that] bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through
the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces [that are] not
theirs. {Habakkuk 1:7} They [are] terrible and dreadful: their judgment and
their dignity shall proceed of themselves. {Habakkuk 1:8} Their horses also are
swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves:
and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall
come from far; they shall fly as the eagle [that] hasteth to eat. {Habakkuk 1:9}
They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up [as] the
east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand. {Habakkuk 1:10} And
they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto
them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust,
and take it. {Habakkuk 1:11} Then shall [his] mind change, and he shall pass
over, and offend, [imputing] this his power unto his god.

{Habakkuk 1:12} [Art] thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy
One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment;
and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction. {Habakkuk 1:13}
[Thou art] of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on
iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously,
[and] holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth [the man that is]
more righteous than he? {Habakkuk 1:14} And makest men as the fishes of the sea,
as the creeping things, [that have] no ruler over them? {Habakkuk 1:15} They
take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and
gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad. {Habakkuk 1:16}
Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their
drag; because by them their portion [is] fat, and their meat plenteous.
{Habakkuk 1:17} Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually
to slay the nations?

{Habakkuk 2:1} I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and
will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer
when I am reproved. {Habakkuk 2:2} And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the
vision, and make [it] plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth
it.

{Habakkuk 2:3} For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

{Habakkuk 2:4} Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

{Habakkuk 2:5} Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, [he is] a proud
man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and
[is] as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all
nations, and heapeth unto him all people: {Habakkuk 2:6} Shall not all these
take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and
say, Woe to him that increaseth [that which is] not his! how long? and
to him that ladeth himself with thick clay! {Habakkuk 2:7} Shall they not rise
up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and
thou shalt be for booties unto them? {Habakkuk 2:8} Because thou hast spoiled
many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because
of men's blood, and [for] the violence of the land, of the city, and of
all that dwell therein.

{Habakkuk 2:9} Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house,
that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the
power of evil! {Habakkuk 2:10} Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting
off many people, and hast sinned [against] thy soul. {Habakkuk 2:11} For the
stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall
answer it.

{Habakkuk 2:12} Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a
city by iniquity! {Habakkuk 2:13} Behold, [is it] not of the LORD of hosts that
the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary
themselves for very vanity? {Habakkuk 2:14} For the earth shall be filled with
the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

{Habakkuk 2:15} Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest
thy bottle to [him,] and makest [him] drunken also, that thou mayest
look on their nakedness! {Habakkuk 2:16} Thou art filled with shame for glory:
drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the
LORD'S right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing
[shall be] on thy glory. {Habakkuk 2:17} For the violence of Lebanon shall cover
thee, and the spoil of beasts, [which] made them afraid, because of
men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all
that dwell therein.

{Habakkuk 2:18} What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath
graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of
his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols? {Habakkuk 2:19} Woe unto him that
saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach!
Behold, it [is] laid over with gold and silver, and [there is] no
breath at all in the midst of it.

{Habakkuk 2:20} But the LORD [is] in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.

{Habakkuk 3:1} A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth. {Habakkuk 3:2} O
LORD, I have heard thy speech, [and] was afraid: O LORD, revive thy
work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known;
in wrath remember mercy. {Habakkuk 3:3} God came from Teman, and the Holy One
from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth
was full of his praise. {Habakkuk 3:4} And [his] brightness was as the light; he
had horns [coming] out of his hand: and there [was] the hiding of his
power. {Habakkuk 3:5} Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went
forth at his feet. {Habakkuk 3:6} He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld,
and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were
scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways [are] everlasting.
{Habakkuk 3:7} I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: [and] the curtains of
the land of Midian did tremble. {Habakkuk 3:8} Was the LORD displeased against
the rivers? [was] thine anger against the rivers? [was] thy wrath
against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses [and] thy
chariots of salvation? {Habakkuk 3:9} Thy bow was made quite naked, [according]
to the oaths of the tribes, [even thy] word. Selah. Thou didst cleave
the earth with rivers. {Habakkuk 3:10} The mountains saw thee, [and] they
trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his
voice, [and] lifted up his hands on high. {Habakkuk 3:11} The sun [and] moon
stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they
went, [and] at the shining of thy glittering spear. {Habakkuk 3:12} Thou didst
march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in
anger. {Habakkuk 3:13} Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people,
[even] for salvation with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out
of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the
neck. Selah. {Habakkuk 3:14} Thou didst strike through with his staves the head
of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their
rejoicing [was] as to devour the poor secretly. {Habakkuk 3:15} Thou didst walk
through the sea with thine horses, [through] the heap of great waters.
{Habakkuk 3:16} When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice:
rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I
might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he
will invade them with his troops.

{Habakkuk 3:17} Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither [shall]
fruit [be] in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the
fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold,
and [there shall be] no herd in the stalls: {Habakkuk 3:18} Yet I will rejoice
in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. {Habakkuk 3:19} The LORD God
[is] my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' [feet,] and he
will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my
stringed instruments.
