Habakkuk 1 (WEB) World English Bible

1 The oracle which Habakkuk the prophet saw.
2 Yahweh, how long will I cry, and you will not hear? I cry out to you "Violence!" and will you not save?
3 Why do you show me iniquity, and look at perversity? For destruction and violence are before me. There is strife, and contention rises up.
4 Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth; for the wicked surround the righteous; therefore justice goes forth perverted.
5 "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.
6 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.
7 They are feared and dreaded. Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.
8 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.
9 All of them come for violence. Their hordes face the desert. He gathers prisoners like sand.
10 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.
11 Then he sweeps by like the wind, and goes on. He is indeed guilty, whose strength is his god."
12 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.
13 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,
14 and make men like the fish of the sea, like the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
15 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.
16 Therefore he sacrifices to his net, and burns incense to his dragnet, because by them his life is luxurious, and his food is good.
17 Will he therefore continually empty his net, and kill the nations without mercy?
1 The burden H4853 which H834 RPRO Habakkuk H2265 the prophet H5030 did see H2372 .
2 O LORD H3068 EDS , how long H5704 PREP shall I cry H7768 VPQ1MS , and thou wilt not H3808 W-NPAR hear H8085 ! even cry out H2199 unto H413 PREP-2MS thee of violence H2555 AMS , and thou wilt not H3808 W-NPAR save H3467 !
3 Why H4100 L-IPRO dost thou show H7200 me iniquity H205 NMS , and cause me to behold H5027 grievance H5999 ? for spoiling H7701 and violence H2555 are before H5048 me : and there are H1961 W-VQY3MS that raise up H5375 strife H7379 NMS and contention H4066 .
4 Therefore H5921 PREP the law H8451 NFS is slacked H6313 , and judgment H4941 NMS doth never H3808 W-NPAR go forth H3318 VQY3MS : for H3588 CONJ the wicked H7563 AMS doth compass about H3803 the righteous H6662 ; therefore H3651 ADV wrong H6127 judgment H4941 NMS proceedeth H3318 VQY3MS .
5 Behold H7200 ye among the heathen H1471 , and regard H5027 , and wonder marvelously H8539 : for H3588 CONJ I will work H6466 a work H6467 CMS in your days H3117 , which ye will not H3808 NADV believe H539 , though H3588 CONJ it be told H5608 you .
6 For H3588 CONJ , lo H2009 , I raise up H6965 VHPMS the Chaldeans H3778 , that bitter H4751 and hasty H4116 nation H1471 , which shall march H1980 through the breadth H4800 of the land H776 GFS , to possess H3423 the dwelling places H4908 that are not H3808 NPAR theirs .
7 They H1931 PPRO-3MS are terrible H366 and dreadful H3372 : their judgment H4941 and their dignity H7613 shall proceed H3318 VQY3MS of H4480 M-PREP-3MS themselves .
8 Their horses H5483 also are swifter H7043 than the leopards H5246 , and are more fierce H2300 than the evening H6153 NUM-MS wolves H2061 : and their horsemen H6571 shall spread H6335 themselves , and their horsemen H6571 shall come H935 VQY3MP from far H7350 M-AMS ; they shall fly H5774 as the eagle H5404 K-NMS that hasteth H2363 to eat H398 .
9 They shall come H935 VQY3MS all H3605 for violence H2555 : their faces H6440 CMP-3MP shall sup up H4041 as the east wind H6921 , and they shall gather H622 the captivity H7628 as the sand H2344 .
10 And they H1931 W-PPRO-3MS shall scoff H7046 at the kings H4428 , and the princes H7336 shall be a scorn H4890 unto them : they H1931 PPRO-3MS shall deride H7832 VQY3MS every H3605 L-CMS stronghold H4013 ; for they shall heap H6651 dust H6083 NMS , and take H3920 it .
11 Then H227 ADV shall his mind H7307 NFS change H2498 , and he shall pass over H5674 , and offend H816 , imputing this H2098 his power H3581 CMS-3MS unto his god H433 .
12 Art thou H859 PPRO-2MS not H3808 ADV from everlasting H6924 M-NMS , O LORD H3068 EDS my God H430 , mine Holy One H6918 ? we shall not H3808 NADV die H4191 . O LORD H3068 EDS , thou hast ordained H7760 them for judgment H4941 L-NMS ; and , O mighty God H6697 W-NMS , thou hast established H3245 them for correction H3198 .
13 Thou art of purer H2889 eyes H5869 NMD than to behold H7200 evil H7451 AMS , and canst H3201 not H3808 NADV look H5027 on H413 PREP iniquity H5999 NMS : wherefore H4100 L-IPRO lookest H5027 thou upon them that deal treacherously H898 , and holdest thy tongue H2790 when the wicked H7563 AMS devoureth H1104 the man that is more righteous H6662 AMS than H4480 M-PREP-3MS he ?
14 And makest H6213 men H120 NMS as the fishes H1709 of the sea H3220 D-NMS , as the creeping things H7431 , that have no H3808 NADV ruler H4910 over them ?
15 They take up H5927 all H3605 of them with the angle H2443 B-NFS , they catch H1641 them in their net H2764 , and gather H622 them in their drag H4365 : therefore H3651 ADV they rejoice H8055 and are glad H1523 .
16 Therefore H5921 PREP they sacrifice H2076 unto their net H2764 , and burn incense H6999 unto their drag H4365 ; because H3588 CONJ by them H1992 their portion H2506 is fat H8082 , and their meat H3978 plenteous H1277 .
17 Shall they therefore H3651 ADV empty H7324 their net H2764 , and not H3808 NADV spare H2550 continually H8548 to slay H2026 the nations H1471 NMP ?
