Habakkuk 1:14

1:14 You made people like fish in the sea,

like animals in the sea that have no ruler.

Habakkuk 1:11

1:11 They sweep by like the wind and pass on.

But the one who considers himself a god will be held guilty.”

Habakkuk 2:19

2:19 The one who says to wood, ‘Wake up!’ is as good as dead –

he who says to speechless stone, ‘Awake!’

Can it give reliable guidance?

It is overlaid with gold and silver;

it has no life’s breath inside it.

Habakkuk 3:9

3:9 Your bow is ready for action;

you commission your arrows. Selah.

You cause flash floods on the earth’s surface.

Habakkuk 2:15

2:15 “You who force your neighbor to drink wine are as good as dead –

you who make others intoxicated by forcing them to drink from the bowl of your furious anger,

so you can look at their genitals.

Habakkuk 3:19

3:19 The sovereign Lord is my source of strength.

He gives me the agility of a deer;

he enables me to negotiate the rugged terrain.
