[Habakkuk 1]
1:1 The burden4853 which Habakkuk2265 the prophet5030 did see.
1:2C O LORD,3068 how long shall I cry,7768 and thou wilt not hear!8085 [even] cry out2199 unto thee [of] violence,2555 and thou wilt not save!
1:3C Why dost thou shew7200 me iniquity,205 and cause [me] to behold5027 grievance?5999 for spoiling7701 and violence2555 [are] before me: and there are [that] raise up5375 strife7379 and contention.
1:4C Therefore the law8451 is slacked,6313 and judgment4941 doth never5331 go forth:3318 for the wicked7563 doth compass3803 about the righteous;6662 therefore wrong6127 judgment4941 proceedeth.
1:5C Behold7200 ye among the heathen,1471 and regard,5027 and wonder8539 marvellously:8539 for [I] will work6466 a work6467 in your days,3117 [which] ye will not believe,539 though it be told
1:6C For, lo, I raise up6965 the Chaldeans,3778 [that] bitter4751 and hasty4116 nation,1471 which shall march1980 through the breadth4800 of the land,776 to possess3423 the dwellingplaces
1:7C They [are] terrible366 and dreadful:3372 their judgment4941 and their dignity7613 shall proceed
1:8C Their horses5483 also are swifter7043 than the leopards,5246 and are more fierce2300 than the evening6153 wolves:2061 and their horsemen6571 shall spread6335 themselves, and their horsemen6571 shall come935 from far;7350 they shall fly5774 as the eagle5404 [that] hasteth2363 to eat.
1:9C They shall come935 all for violence:2555 their faces6440 shall sup up4041 [as] the east wind,6921 and they shall gather622 the captivity7628 as the sand.
1:10C And they shall scoff7046 at the kings,4428 and the princes7336 shall be a scorn4890 unto them: they shall deride7832 every strong hold;4013 for they shall heap6651 dust,6083 and take
1:11C Then shall [his] mind7307 change,2498 and he shall pass over,5674 and offend,816 [imputing] this2098 his power3581 unto his god.
1:12C [Art] thou not from everlasting,6924 O LORD3068 my God,430 mine Holy One?6918 we shall not die.4191 O LORD,3068 thou hast ordained7760 them for judgment;4941 and, O mighty God,6697 thou hast established3245 them for correction.
1:13C [Thou art] of purer2889 eyes5869 than to behold7200 evil,7451 and canst3201 not look5027 on iniquity:5999 wherefore lookest5027 thou upon them that deal treacherously,898 [and] holdest thy tongue2790 when the wicked7563 devoureth1104 [the man that is] more righteous
1:14 And makest6213 men120 as the fishes1709 of the sea,3220 as the creeping things,7431 [that have] no ruler
1:15 They take up5927 all of them with the angle,2443 they catch1641 them in their net,2764 and gather622 them in their drag:4365 therefore they rejoice8055 and are glad.
1:16 Therefore they sacrifice2076 unto their net,2764 and burn incense6999 unto their drag;4365 because by them1992 their portion2506 [is] fat,8082 and their meat3978 plenteous.
1:17 Shall they therefore empty7324 their net,2764 and not spare2550 continually8548 to slay2026 the nations?

[Habakkuk 2]
2:1C I will stand5975 upon my watch,4931 and set3320 me upon the tower,4692 and will watch6822 to see7200 what he will say1696 unto me, and what I shall answer7725 when I am reproved.
2:2C And the LORD3068 answered6030 me, and said,559 Write3789 the vision,2377 and make [it] plain874 upon tables,3871 that he may run7323 that readeth
2:3C For the vision2377 [is] yet for an appointed time,4150 but at the end7093 it shall speak,6315 and not lie:3576 though it tarry,4102 wait2442 for it; because it will surely935 come,935 it will not tarry.
2:4C Behold, his soul5315 [which] is lifted up6075 is not upright3474 in him: but the just6662 shall live2421 by his faith.
2:5C Yea also, because he transgresseth898 by wine,3196 [he is] a proud3093 man,1397 neither keepeth at home,5115 who enlargeth7337 his desire5315 as hell,7585 and [is] as death,4194 and cannot be satisfied,7646 but gathereth622 unto him all nations,1471 and heapeth6908 unto him all people:
2:6C Shall not all these take up5375 a parable4912 against him, and a taunting4426 proverb2420 against him, and say,559 Woe1945 to him that increaseth7235 [that which is] not his! how long? and to him that ladeth3513 himself with thick clay!
2:7C Shall they not rise up6965 suddenly6621 that shall bite5391 thee, and awake3364 that shall vex2111 thee, and thou shalt be for booties
2:8 Because thou hast spoiled7997 many7227 nations,1471 all the remnant3499 of the people5971 shall spoil7997 thee; because of men's120 blood,1818 and [for] the violence2555 of the land,776 of the city,7151 and of all that dwell
2:9 Woe1945 to him that coveteth1214 an evil7451 covetousness1215 to his house,1004 that he may set7760 his nest7064 on high,4791 that he may be delivered5337 from the power3709 of evil!
2:10 Thou hast consulted3289 shame1322 to thy house1004 by cutting off7096 many7227 people,5971 and hast sinned2398 [against] thy soul.
2:11 For the stone68 shall cry out2199 of the wall,7023 and the beam out3714 of the timber6086 shall answer
2:12 Woe1945 to him that buildeth1129 a town5892 with blood,1818 and stablisheth3559 a city7151 by iniquity!
2:13 Behold, [is it] not of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 that the people5971 shall labour3021 in the very1767 fire,784 and the people3816 shall weary3286 themselves for very1767 vanity?
2:14C For the earth776 shall be filled4390 with the knowledge3045 of the glory3519 of the LORD,3068 as the waters4325 cover3680 the sea.
2:15C Woe1945 unto him that giveth his neighbour7453 drink,8248 that puttest5596 thy bottle2573 to [him], and makest [him] drunken7937 also, that thou mayest look5027 on their nakedness!
2:16 Thou art filled7646 with shame7036 for glory:3519 drink8354 thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered:6188 the cup3563 of the LORD'S3068 right hand3225 shall be turned5437 unto thee, and shameful spewing7022 [shall be] on thy glory.
2:17 For the violence2555 of Lebanon3844 shall cover3680 thee, and the spoil7701 of beasts,929 [which] made them afraid,2865 because of men's120 blood,1818 and for the violence2555 of the land,776 of the city,7151 and of all that dwell
2:18 What profiteth3276 the graven image6459 that the maker3335 thereof hath graven6458 it; the molten image,4541 and a teacher3384 of lies,8267 that the maker3335 of his work3336 trusteth982 therein, to make6213 dumb483 idols?
2:19 Woe1945 unto him that saith559 to the wood,6086 Awake;6974 to the dumb1748 stone,68 Arise,5782 it shall teach!3384 Behold, it [is] laid8610 over with gold2091 and silver,3701 and [there is] no breath7307 at all in the midst
2:20 But the LORD3068 [is] in his holy6944 temple:1964 let all the earth776 keep silence2013 before

[Habakkuk 3]
3:1C A prayer8605 of Habakkuk2265 the prophet5030 upon Shigionoth.
3:2C O LORD,3068 I have heard8085 thy speech,8088 [and] was afraid:3372 O LORD,3068 revive2421 thy work6467 in the midst7130 of the years,8141 in the midst7130 of the years8141 make known;3045 in wrath7267 remember2142 mercy.
3:3C God433 came935 from Teman,8487 and the Holy One6918 from mount2022 Paran.6290 Selah.5542 His glory1935 covered3680 the heavens,8064 and the earth776 was full4390 of his praise.
3:4C And [his] brightness5051 was as the light;216 he had horns7161 [coming] out of his hand:3027 and there [was] the hiding2253 of his power.
3:5C Before6440 him went3212 the pestilence,1698 and burning coals7565 went forth3318 at his feet.
3:6C He stood,5975 and measured4128 the earth:776 he beheld,7200 and drove asunder5425 the nations;1471 and the everlasting5703 mountains2042 were scattered,6327 the perpetual5769 hills1389 did bow:7817 his ways1979 [are] everlasting.
3:7C I saw7200 the tents168 of Cushan3572 in affliction:205 [and] the curtains3407 of the land776 of Midian4080 did tremble.
3:8 Was the LORD3068 displeased2734 against the rivers?5104 [was] thine anger639 against the rivers?5104 [was] thy wrath5678 against the sea,3220 that thou didst ride7392 upon thine horses5483 [and] thy chariots4818 of salvation?
3:9C Thy bow7198 was made quite6181 naked,5783 [according] to the oaths7621 of the tribes,4294 [even thy] word.562 Selah.5542 Thou didst cleave1234 the earth776 with rivers.
3:10C The mountains2022 saw7200 thee, [and] they trembled:2342 the overflowing2230 of the water4325 passed by:5674 the deep8415 uttered5414 his voice,6963 [and] lifted up5375 his hands3027 on high.
3:11C The sun8121 [and] moon3394 stood still5975 in their habitation:2073 at the light216 of thine arrows2671 they went,1980 [and] at the shining5051 of thy glittering1300 spear.
3:12C Thou didst march through6805 the land776 in indignation,2195 thou didst thresh1758 the heathen1471 in anger.
3:13C Thou wentest forth3318 for the salvation3468 of thy people,5971 [even] for salvation3468 with thine anointed;4899 thou woundedst4272 the head7218 out of the house1004 of the wicked,7563 by discovering6168 the foundation3247 unto the neck.6677 Selah.
3:14C Thou didst strike through5344 with his staves4294 the head7218 of his villages:6518 they came out as a whirlwind5590 to scatter6327 me: their rejoicing5951 [was] as to devour398 the poor6041 secretly.
3:15C Thou didst walk1869 through the sea3220 with thine horses,5483 [through] the heap2563 of great7227 waters.
3:16C When I heard,8085 my belly990 trembled;7264 my lips8193 quivered6750 at the voice:6963 rottenness7538 entered935 into my bones,6106 and I trembled7264 in myself, that I might rest5117 in the day3117 of trouble:6869 when he cometh up5927 unto the people,5971 he will invade them with his troops.
3:17C Although the fig tree8384 shall not blossom,6524 neither [shall] fruit2981 [be] in the vines;1612 the labour4639 of the olive2132 shall fail,3584 and the fields7709 shall yield6213 no meat;400 the flock6629 shall be cut off1504 from the fold,4356 and [there shall be] no herd1241 in the stalls:
3:18C Yet I will rejoice5937 in the LORD,3068 I will joy1523 in the God430 of my salvation.
3:19 The LORD3069 God136 [is] my strength,2428 and he will make7760 my feet7272 like hinds'355 [feet], and he will make me to walk1869 upon mine high places.1116 To the chief singer5329 on my stringed instruments.
