Book 35 The Vision of Habakkuk Habakkuk
Habakkuk|1:1 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
Habakkuk|1:2 O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! [even] cry out unto thee [of] violence, and thou wilt not save!
Habakkuk|1:3 Why dost thou show me iniquity, and cause [me] to behold grievance. for spoiling and violence [are] before me: and there are [that] raise up strife and contention.
Habakkuk|1:4 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.
Habakkuk|1:5 Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for [I] will work a work in your days, [which] ye will not believe, though it be told [you].
Habakkuk|1:6 For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, [that] bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces [that are] not theirs.
Habakkuk|1:7 They [are] terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
Habakkuk|1:8 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle [that] hasteth to eat.
Habakkuk|1:9 They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up [as] the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand. HABAKKUK | Holy Bible | Old Testament | King James | Book 35 The Vision of Habakkuk
