The burden which the prophet Ambacum saw. |

The burden°
which°
Habakkuk°
the prophet°
did see.°° |
|
1:2
How long, O Lord, shall I cry out, and thou wilt not hearken? [how long] shall I cry out to thee being injured, and thou wilt not save? |
|
1:2
O Yahweh,°
how long°°
shall I cry,°°
and thou wilt not°
hear!°°
[even] cry out°°
unto°
thee [of] violence,°
and thou wilt not°
save!°° |
|
1:3
Wherefore hast thou shown me troubles and griefs to look upon, misery and ungodliness? judgment is before me, and the judge receives a reward. |
|
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.° |
|
1:4
Therefore the law is frustrated, and judgment proceeds not effectually, for the ungodly [man] prevails over the just; therefore perverse judgment will proceed. |
|
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.°° |
|
1:5 ¶
Behold, ye despisers, and look, and wonder marvelously, and vanish: for I work a work in your days, which ye will in no wise believe, though a man declare [it to you]. |
|
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]. |
|
1:6
Wherefore, behold, I stir up the Chaldeans, the bitter and hasty nation, that walks upon the breadth of the earth, to inherit tabernacles not his own. |
|
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. |
|
1:7
He is terrible and famous; his judgment shall proceed of himself, and his dignity shall come out of himself. |
|
1:7
They°
[are] terrible°
and dreadful:°°
their judgment°
and their dignity°
shall proceed°°
of°
themselves. |
|
1:8
And his horses shall bound [more swiftly] than leopards, and [they are] fiercer than the wolves of Arabia: and his horsemen shall ride forth, and shall rush from far; and they shall fly as an eagle hasting to eat. |
|
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.°° |
|
1:9
Destruction shall come upon ungodly men, resisting with their adverse front, and he shall gather the captivity as the sand. |
|
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.° |
|
1:10
And he shall be at his ease with kings, and princes are his toys, and he shall mock at every strong-hold, and shall cast a mound, and take possession of it. |
|
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. |
|
1:11
Then shall he change his spirit, and he shall pass through, and make an atonement, [saying], This strength [belongs] to my god. |
|
1:11
Then°
shall [his] mind°
change,°°
and he shall pass over,°°
and offend,°°
[imputing] this°
his power°
unto his eloah.° |
|
1:12 ¶
[Art] not thou from the beginning, O Lord God, my Holy One? and surely we shall not die. O Lord, thou hast established it for judgment, and he has formed me to chasten [with] his correction. |
|
1:12 ¶
[Art] thou°
not°
from everlasting,°°
O Yahweh°
my Elohim,°
mine Holy One?°
we shall not°
die.°°
O Yahweh,°
thou hast ordained°°
them for judgment;°
and, O mighty God,°
thou hast established°°
them for correction.°° |
|
1:13
[His] eye is too pure to behold evil [doings], and to look upon grievous afflictions: wherefore dost thou look upon despisers? wilt thou be silent when the ungodly swallows up the just? |
|
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? |
|
1:14
And wilt thou make men as the fishes of the sea, and as the reptiles which have no guide? |
|
1:14
And makest°°
men°
as the fishes°
of the sea,°
as the creeping things,°
[that have] no°
ruler°°
over them? |
|
1:15
He has brought up destruction with a hook, and drawn one with a casting net, and caught another in his drags: therefore shall his heart rejoice and be glad. |
|
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.°° |
|
1:16
Therefore will he sacrifice to his drag, and burn incense to his casting-net, because by them he has made his portion fat, and his meats choice. |
|
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.° |
|
1:17
Therefore will he cast his net, and will not spare to slay the nations continually. |
|
1:17
Shall they therefore°°
empty°°
their net,°
and not°
spare°°
continually°
to slay°°
the nations?° |
