Hab 01:01 ¶ The burden <04853> which Habakkuk <02265> the

prophet <05030> did see <02372> (8804).

Hab 01:02  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)!

Hab 01:03  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>.

Hab 01:04  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).

Hab 01:05 ¶ 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.

Hab 01:06  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.

Hab 01:07  They are terrible <0366> and dreadful <03372> (8737):

their judgment <04941> and their dignity <07613> shall proceed

<03318> (8799) of themselves.

Hab 01:08  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).

Hab 01:09  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>.

Hab 01:10  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.

Hab 01:11  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>.

Hab 01:12 ¶ 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).

Hab 01:13  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?

Hab 01:14  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?

Hab 01:15  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).

Hab 01:16  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>.

Hab 01:17  Shall they therefore empty <07324> (8686) their net

<02764>, and not spare <02550> (8799) continually <08548> to

slay <02026> (8800) the nations <01471>?

Hab 02:01 ¶ 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>.

Hab 02:02  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.

Hab 02:03  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).

Hab 02:04  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>.

Hab 02:05 ¶ 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>:

Hab 02:06  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>!

Hab 02:07  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?

Hab 02:08  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.

Hab 02:09  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>!

Hab 02:10  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>.

Hab 02:11  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.

Hab 02:12  Woe <01945> to him that buildeth <01129> (8802) a

town <05892> with blood <01818>, and stablisheth <03559> (8790)

a city <07151> by iniquity <05766>!

Hab 02:13  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>?

Hab 02:14  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>.

Hab 02:15 ¶ 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>!

Hab 02:16  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>.

Hab 02:17  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.

Hab 02:18  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>?

Hab 02:19  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.

Hab 02:20  But the LORD <03068> is in his holy <06944> temple

<01964>: let all the earth <0776> keep silence <02013> (8761)

before <06440> him.

Hab 03:01 ¶ A prayer <08605> of Habakkuk <02265> the prophet

<05030> upon Shigionoth <07692>.

Hab 03:02  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).

Hab 03:03 ¶ 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>.

Hab 03:04  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>.

Hab 03:05  Before <06440> him went <03212> (8799) the pestilence

<01698>, and burning coals <07565> went forth <03318> (8799) at

his feet <07272>.

Hab 03:06  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>.

Hab 03:07  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).

Hab 03:08  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>?

Hab 03:09  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>.

Hab 03:10  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>.

Hab 03:11  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>.

Hab 03:12  Thou didst march through <06805> (8799) the land

<0776> in indignation <02195>, thou didst thresh <01758> (8799)

the heathen <01471> in anger <0639>.

Hab 03:13  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>.

Hab 03:14  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>.

Hab 03:15  Thou didst walk <01869> (8804) through the sea

<03220> with thine horses <05483>, through the heap <02563> of

great <07227> waters <04325>.

Hab 03:16 ¶ 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).

Hab 03:17  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>:

Hab 03:18  Yet I will rejoice <05937> (8799) in the LORD <03068>,

 I will joy <01523> (8799) in the God <0430> of my salvation

<03468>.

Hab 03:19  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>.
