HAB 01:01 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.



HAB 01:02 O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! 
[even] cry out unto thee [of] violence, and thou wilt not save!



HAB 01:03 Why dost thou show me iniquity, and cause [me] to 
behold grievance? for spoiling and violence [are] before me: and 
there are [that] raise up strife and contention.



HAB 01:04 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never 
go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; 
therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.



HAB 01:05 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].



HAB 01:06 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.



HAB 01:07 They [are] terrible and dreadful: their judgment and 
their dignity shall proceed of themselves.



HAB 01:08 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.



HAB 01:09 They shall come all for violence: their faces shall 
sup up [as] the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity 
as the sand.



HAB 01:10 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.



HAB 01:11 Then shall [his] mind change, and he shall pass over, 
and offend, [imputing] this his power unto his god.



HAB 01:12 [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.



HAB 01:13 [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?



HAB 01:14 And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the 
creeping things, [that have] no ruler over them?



HAB 01:15 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.



HAB 01:16 Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn 
incense unto their drag; because by them their portion [is] fat, 
and their meat plenteous.



HAB 01:17 Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare 
continually to slay the nations?



HAB 02:01 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.



HAB 02:02 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, 
and make [it] plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.



HAB 02:03 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.



HAB 02:04 Behold, his soul [which] is lifted up is not upright 
in him: but the just shall live by his faith.



HAB 02:05 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:



HAB 02:06 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!



HAB 02:07 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, 
and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties 
unto them?



HAB 02:08 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.



HAB 02:09 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!



HAB 02:10 Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off 
many people, and hast sinned [against] thy soul.



HAB 02:11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam 
out of the timber shall answer it.



HAB 02:12 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and 
stablisheth a city by iniquity!



HAB 02:13 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?



HAB 02:14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of 
the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.



HAB 02:15 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!



HAB 02:16 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.



HAB 02:17 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.



HAB 02:18 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?



HAB 02:19 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.



HAB 02:20 But the LORD [is] in his holy temple: let all the 
earth keep silence before him.



HAB 03:01 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.



HAB 03:02 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.



HAB 03:03 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.



HAB 03:04 And [his] brightness was as the light; he had horns 
[coming] out of his hand: and there [was] the hiding of his 
power.



HAB 03:05 Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went 
forth at his feet.



HAB 03:06 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.



HAB 03:07 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: [and] the 
curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.



HAB 03:08 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?



HAB 03:09 Thy bow was made quite naked, [according] to the oaths 
of the tribes, [even thy] word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the 
earth with rivers.



HAB 03:10 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.



HAB 03:11 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.



HAB 03:12 Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou 
didst thresh the heathen in anger.



HAB 03:13 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.



HAB 03:14 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.



HAB 03:15 Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses, 
[through] the heap of great waters.



HAB 03:16 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.



HAB 03:17 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:



HAB 03:18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God 
of my salvation.



HAB 03:19 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.
