@ 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
.

@ Therefore the
law
is
slacked

judgment
doth
never
go
forth
: for the
wicked
doth
compass
about the
righteous
; therefore
wrong
judgment
proceedeth

@
Behold
ye among the
heathen
, and
regard
, and
wonder
marvellously

work
a
work
in your
days
, which ye will not
believe
, though it be
told
you.

@ For, lo, I raise
up
the
Chaldeans

bitter

hasty
nation

march
through the

of the
land

possess
the
dwellingplaces
that are not theirs.

of themselves.

@ Their
horses
also are
swifter
than the
leopards

fierce

shall
spread
themselves, and their

shall
come

fly

come

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.

LORD
my

thou upon them that deal
treacherously

tongue
when the
wicked
devoureth
the man that is more
righteous
than he?
strkjv@Habakkuk:1:14

up

rejoice

glad

strkjv@Habakkuk:1:16
@ Therefore they
sacrifice
unto their
net

unto their

plenteous
