ASV_Strong : Habakkuk 1

verses:

1. The burden[H4853] which Habakkuk[H2265] the prophet[H5030] did see[H2372].

2. O Jehovah[H3068], how long shall I cry[H7768], and thou wilt not hear[H8085]? I cry out[H2199] unto thee of violence[H2555], and thou wilt not save[H3467].

3. Why dost thou show[H7200] me iniquity[H205], and look[H5027] upon perverseness[H5999]? for destruction[H7701] and violence[H2555] are before me[H7379]; and there is strife, and contention[H4066] riseth up[H5375].

4. Therefore the law[H8451] is slacked[H6313], and justice[H4941] doth never[H5331] go forth[H3318]; for the wicked[H7563] doth compass[H3803] about the righteous[H6662]; therefore justice[H4941] goeth forth[H3318] perverted[H6127].

5. Behold[H7200] ye among the nations[H1471], and look[H5027], and wonder[H8539] marvellously[H8539]; for I am working[H6466] a work[H6467] in your days[H3117], which ye will not believe[H539] though it be told you[H5608].

6. For[H6965], lo, I raise up the Chaldeans[H3778], that bitter[H4751] and hasty[H4116] nation[H1471], that march[H1980] through the breadth[H4800] of the earth[H776], to possess[H3423] dwelling-places[H4908] that are not theirs.

7. They are terrible[H366] and dreadful[H3372]; their judgment[H4941] and their dignity[H7613] proceed from themselves[H3318].

8. Their horses[H5483] also are swifter[H7043] than leopards[H5246], and are more fierce[H2300] than the evening[H6153] wolves[H2061]; and their horsemen[H6571] press proudly[H6335] on[H6571]: yea, their horsemen come[H935] from far[H7350]; they fly[H5774] as an eagle[H5404] that hasteth[H2363] to devour[H398].

9. They come[H935] all of them for violence[H2555]; the set[H4041] of their faces[H6440] is forwards[H6921]; and they gather[H622] captives[H7628] as the sand[H2344].

10. Yea[H7046], he scoffeth at kings[H4428], and princes[H7336] are a derision[H4890] unto him[H7832]; he derideth every stronghold[H4013]; for he heapeth[H6651] up dust[H6083], and taketh it[H3920].

11. Then shall he sweep[H2498] by as a wind[H7307], and shall pass over[H5674], and be guilty[H816], even he whose[H2098] might[H3581] is his god[H433].

12. Art not thou from everlasting[H6924], O Jehovah[H3068] my God[H430], my Holy One[H6918]? we shall not die[H4191]. O Jehovah[H3068], thou hast ordained[H7760] him for judgment[H4941]; and thou[H6697], O Rock, hast established[H3245] him for correction[H3198].

13. Thou that art of purer[H2889] eyes[H5869] than to behold[H7200] evil[H7451], and that canst[H3201] not look[H5027] on perverseness[H5999], wherefore lookest[H5027] thou upon them that deal treacherously[H898], and holdest thy peace[H2790] when the wicked[H7563] swalloweth[H1104] up the man that is more righteous than he[H6662];

14. and makest[H6213] men[H120] as the fishes[H1709] of the sea[H3220], as the creeping things[H7431], that have no ruler over them[H4910]?

15. He taketh up[H5927] all of them with the angle[H2443], he catcheth[H1641] them in his net[H2764], and gathereth[H622] them in his drag[H4365]: therefore he rejoiceth[H8055] and is glad[H1523].

16. Therefore he sacrificeth[H2076] unto his net[H2764], and burneth incense[H6999] unto his drag[H4365]; because by them[H1992] his portion[H2506] is fat[H8082], and his food[H3978] plenteous[H1277].

17. Shall he therefore empty[H7324] his net[H2764], and spare[H2550] not to slay[H2026] the nations[H1471] continually[H8548]?
