strkjv@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
!
strkjv@Habakkuk:1:3
@ Why dost thou
shew
me
iniquity
, and cause me to
behold
grievance
? for
spoiling
and
violence
are before me: and there are that raise
up
strife
and
contention
.
strkjv@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
.
strkjv@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.
strkjv@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.
strkjv@Habakkuk:1:7
@ They are
terrible
and
dreadful
: their
judgment
and their
dignity
shall
proceed
of themselves.
strkjv@Habakkuk:1:8
@ Their
horses
also are
swifter
than the
leopards
, and are more
fierce
than the
evening
wolves
z@: and their
horsemen
shall
spread
themselves, and their
horsemen
shall
come
from
far
; they shall
fly
as the
eagle
that
hasteth
to
eat
.
strkjv@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
.
strkjv@Habakkuk:1:10
@ And they shall
scoff
at the
kings
, and the
princes
shall be a
scorn
unto them: they shall
deride
every strong
hold
; for they shall
heap
dust
, and
take
it.
