Habakkuk 1

Habakkuk


1:1 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.

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! 

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 slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: 
for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.

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

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 their's.

1:7 They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.

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 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 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 his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, 
imputing this his power unto his god.

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.

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 makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them? 

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 they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; 
because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous.

1:17 Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?
