Habakkuk 1:1-8

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].

For, lo, I raise up
<06965> (8688)

the Chaldeans
<03778>_,

[that] bitter
<04751>

and hasty
<04116> (8737)

nation
<01471>_,

which shall march
<01980> (8802)

through the breadth
<04800>

of the land
<0776>_,

to possess
<03423> (8800)

the dwellingplaces
<04908>

[that are] not theirs. {breadth: Heb. breadths}

They [are] terrible
<0366>

and dreadful
<03372> (8737)_:

their judgment
<04941>

and their dignity
<07613>

shall proceed
<03318> (8799)

of themselves. {their judgment...: or, from them shall proceed the judgment of these, and the captivity of these}

Their horses
<05483>

also are swifter
<07043> (8804)

than the leopards
<05246>_,

and are more fierce
<02300> (8804)

than the evening
<06153>

wolves
<02061>_:

and their horsemen
<06571>

shall spread
<06335> (8804)

themselves, and their horsemen
<06571>

shall come
<0935> (8799)

from far
<07350>_;

they shall fly
<05774> (8799)

as the eagle
<05404>

[that] hasteth
<02363> (8804)

to eat
<0398> (8800)_.

{fierce: Heb. sharp}
