Habakkuk 1:12--2:1

1:12

[Art] thou not from everlasting
<06924>_,

O LORD
<03068>

my God
<0430>_,

mine Holy One
<06918>_?

we shall not die
<04191> (8799)_.

O LORD
<03068>_,

thou hast ordained
<07760> (8804)

them for judgment
<04941>_;

and, O mighty God
<06697>_,

thou hast established
<03245> (8804)

them for correction
<03198> (8687)_.

{mighty...: Heb. rock} {established: Heb. founded}

1:13

[Thou art] of purer
<02889>

eyes
<05869>

than to behold
<07200> (8800)

evil
<07451>_,

and canst
<03201> (8799)

not look
<05027> (8687)

on iniquity
<05999>_:

wherefore lookest
<05027> (8686)

thou upon them that deal treacherously
<0898> (8802)_,

[and] holdest thy tongue
<02790> (8686)

when the wicked
<07563>

devoureth
<01104> (8763)

[the man that is] more righteous
<06662>

than he? {iniquity: or, grievance}

1:14

And makest
<06213> (8799)

men
<0120>

as the fishes
<01709>

of the sea
<03220>_,

as the creeping things
<07431>_,

[that have] no ruler
<04910> (8802)

over them? {creeping: or, moving}

1:15

They take up
<05927> (8689)

all of them with the angle
<02443>_,

they catch
<01641> (8799)

them in their net
<02764>_,

and gather
<0622> (8799)

them in their drag
<04365>_:

therefore they rejoice
<08055> (8799)

and are glad
<01523> (8799)_.

{drag: or, flue net}

1:16

Therefore they sacrifice
<02076> (8762)

unto their net
<02764>_,

and burn incense
<06999> (8762)

unto their drag
<04365>_;

because by them
<01992>

their portion
<02506>

[is] fat
<08082>_,

and their meat
<03978>

plenteous
<01277>_.

{plenteous: or, dainty: Heb. fat}

1:17

Shall they therefore empty
<07324> (8686)

their net
<02764>_,

and not spare
<02550> (8799)

continually
<08548>

to slay
<02026> (8800)

the nations
<01471>_?

2:1

I will stand
<05975> (8799)

upon my watch
<04931>_,

and set
<03320> (8691)

me upon the tower
<04692>_,

and will watch
<06822> (8762)

to see
<07200> (8800)

what he will say
<01696> (8762)

unto me, and what I shall answer
<07725> (8686)

when I am reproved
<08433>_.

{tower: Heb. fenced place} {unto me: or, in me} {when...: or, when I am argued with: Heb. upon my reproof, or, arguing}
