Habakkuk 1:1-5

The burden
<04853>

which Habakkuk
<02265>

the prophet
<05030>

did see
<02372> (8804)_.

O LORD
<03068>_,

how long shall I cry
<07768> (8765)_,

and thou wilt not hear
<08085> (8799)_!

[even] cry out
<02199> (8799)

unto thee [of] violence
<02555>_,

and thou wilt not save
<03467> (8686)_!

Why dost thou shew
<07200> (8686)

me iniquity
<0205>_,

and cause [me] to behold
<05027> (8686)

grievance
<05999>_?

for spoiling
<07701>

and violence
<02555>

[are] before me: and there are [that] raise up
<05375> (8799)

strife
<07379>

and contention
<04066>_.

Therefore the law
<08451>

is slacked
<06313> (8799)_,

and judgment
<04941>

doth never
<05331>

go forth
<03318> (8799)_:

for the wicked
<07563>

doth compass
<03803> (8688)

about the righteous
<06662>_;

therefore wrong
<06127> (8794)

judgment
<04941>

proceedeth
<03318> (8799)_.

{wrong: or, wrested}

Behold
<07200> (8798)

ye among the heathen
<01471>_,

and regard
<05027> (8685)_,

and wonder
<08539> (8690)

marvellously
<08539> (8798)_:

for [I] will work
<06466> (8802)

a work
<06467>

in your days
<03117>_,

[which] ye will not believe
<0539> (8686)_,

though it be told
<05608> (8792)

[you].
