There is strife, + and contention rises up. +001:004 Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth; + for the wicked surround the righteous; therefore justice + goes forth perverted. +001:005 "Look among the nations, watch, and wonder marvelously; + for I am working a work in your days, which you will not + believe though it is told you. +001:006 For, behold, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and + hasty nation, that march through the breadth of the earth, + to possess dwelling places that are not theirs. +001:007 They are feared and dreaded. Their judgment and their dignity + proceed from themselves. +001:008 Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and are more fierce + than the evening wolves. Their horsemen press proudly on. + Yes, their horsemen come from afar. They fly as an eagle + that hurries to devour. +001:009 All of them come for violence. Their hordes face the desert. + He gathers prisoners like sand. +001:010 Yes, he scoffs at kings, and princes are a derision to him. + He laughs at every stronghold, for he builds up an earthen ramp, + and takes it. +001:011 Then he sweeps by like the wind, and goes on. He is indeed guilty, + whose strength is his god." +001:012 Aren't you from everlasting, Yahweh my God, my Holy One? We will + not die. Yahweh, you have appointed him for judgment. + You, Rock, have established him to punish. +001:013 You who have purer eyes than to see evil, and who cannot look + on perversity, why do you tolerate those who deal treacherously, + and keep silent when the wicked swallows up the man who is + more righteous than he, +001:014 and make men like the fish of the sea, like the creeping things, + that have no ruler over them? +001:015 He takes up all of them with the hook. He catches them in his net, + and gathers them in his dragnet. Therefore he rejoices + and is glad. +001:016 Therefore he sacrifices to his net, and burns incense + to his dragnet, because by them his life is luxurious, + and his food is good. +001:017 Will he therefore continually empty his net, and kill + the nations without mercy? +002:001 I will stand at my watch, and set myself on the ramparts, + and will look out to see what he will say to me, and what I + will answer concerning my complaint. +002:002 Yahweh answered me, "Write the vision, and make it plain + on tablets, that he may run who reads it. +002:003 For the vision is yet for the appointed time, + and it hurries toward the end, and won't prove false. + Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come. + It won't delay. +002:004 Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, + but the righteous will live by his faith. +002:005 Yes, moreover, wine is treacherous. A haughty man who doesn't stay + at home, who enlarges his desire as Sheol, and he is like death, + and can't be satisfied, but gathers to himself all nations, + and heaps to himself all peoples. +002:006 Won't all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting + proverb against him, and say, 'Woe to him who increases + that which is not his, and who enriches himself by extortion! + How long?' +002:007 Won't your debtors rise up suddenly, and wake up those who make + you tremble, and you will be their victim? +002:008 Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant + of the peoples will plunder you, because of men's blood, + and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all + who dwell in it. +002:009 Woe to him who gets an evil gain for his house, that he may set + his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil! +002:010 You have devised shame to your house, by cutting off many peoples, + and have sinned against your soul. +002:011 For the stone will cry out of the wall, and the beam out + of the woodwork will answer it. +002:012 Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes + a city by iniquity! +002:013 Behold, isn't it of Yahweh of Armies that the peoples labor + for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity? +002:014 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory + of Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea. +002:015 "Woe to him who gives his neighbor drink, pouring your + inflaming wine until they are drunk, so that you may gaze + at their naked bodies! +002:016 You are filled with shame, and not glory. You will also drink, + and be exposed! The cup of Yahweh's right hand will come + around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory. +002:017 For the violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, + and the destruction of the animals, which made them afraid; + because of men's blood, and for the violence done to the land, + to every city and to those who dwell in them. +002:018 "What value does the engraved image have, that its maker has + engraved it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, + that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make mute idols? +002:019 Woe to him who says to the wood, 'Awake!' or to the mute + stone, 'Arise!' Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid + with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in + the midst of it. +002:020 But Yahweh is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be + silent before him!" +003:001 A prayer of Habakkuk, the prophet, set to victorious music. +003:002 Yahweh, I have heard of your fame. I stand in awe of + your deeds, Yahweh. Renew your work in the midst of the years. + In the midst of the years make it known. In wrath, + you remember mercy. +003:003 God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. His glory + covered the heavens, and his praise filled the earth. +003:004 His splendor is like the sunrise. Rays shine from his hand, + where his power is hidden. +003:005 Plague went before him, and pestilence followed his feet. +003:006 He stood, and shook the earth. He looked, and made + the nations tremble. The ancient mountains were crumbled. + The age-old hills collapsed. His ways are eternal. +003:007 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction. The dwellings + of the land of Midian trembled. +003:008 Was Yahweh displeased with the rivers? Was your anger against + the rivers, or your wrath against the sea, that you rode + on your horses, on your chariots of salvation? +003:009 You uncovered your bow. You called for your sworn arrows. + Selah. You split the earth with rivers. +003:010 The mountains saw you, and were afraid. The storm of waters + passed by. The deep roared and lifted up its hands on high. +003:011 The sun and moon stood still in the sky, at the light of your + arrows as they went, at the shining of your glittering spear. +003:012 You marched through the land in wrath. You threshed + the nations in anger. +003:013 You went forth for the salvation of your people, for the salvation + of your anointed. You crushed the head of the land of wickedness. + You stripped them head to foot. Selah. +003:014 You pierced the heads of his warriors with their own spears. + They came as a whirlwind to scatter me, gloating as if to devour + the wretched in secret. +003:015 You trampled the sea with your horses, churning mighty waters. +003:016 I heard, and my body trembled. My lips quivered at the voice. + Rottenness enters into my bones, and I tremble in my place, + because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, + for the coming up of the people who invade us. +003:017 For though the fig tree doesn't flourish, nor fruit be in the vines; + the labor of the olive fails, the fields yield no food; + the flocks are cut off from the fold, and there is no herd + in the stalls: +003:018 yet I will rejoice in Yahweh. I will be joyful in the God + of my salvation! +003:019 Yahweh, the Lord, is my strength. He makes my feet + like deer's feet, and enables me to go in high places. + For the music director, on my stringed instruments. + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE WORLD ENGLISH BIBLE (WEB): HABAKKUK *** + +This file should be named 8262.txt or 8262.zip + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
