bes@Habakkuk:1:1 @ The burden which the prophet Ambacum saw.

bes@Habakkuk:1:2 @ How long, O Lord, shall I cry out, and thou wilt not hearken? how long shall I cry out to thee being injured, and thou wilt not save?

bes@Habakkuk:1:3 @ Wherefore hast thou shown me troubles and griefs to look upon, misery and ungodliness? judgement is before me, and the judge receives a reward.

bes@Habakkuk:1:4 @ Therefore the law is frustrated, and judgement proceeds not effectually, for the ungodly man prevails over the just; therefore perverse judgement will proceed.

bes@Habakkuk:1:5 @

bes@Habakkuk:1:6 @ Wherefore, behold, I stir up the Chaldeans, the bitter and hasty nation, that walks upon the breadth of the earth, to inherit tabernacles not his own.

bes@Habakkuk:1:7 @ He is terrible and famous; his judgement shall proceed of himself, and his (note:)Lit. burden(:note) dignity shall come out of himself.

bes@Habakkuk:1:8 @ And his horses shall bound more swiftly than leopards, and they are fiercer than the wolves of Arabia: and his horsemen shall ride forth, and shall rush from far; and they shall fly as an eagle hasting to eat.

bes@Habakkuk:1:9 @ Destruction shall come upon ungodly men, resisting with their adverse front, and he shall gather the captivity as the sand.

bes@Habakkuk:1:10 @ And he shall be at his ease with kings, and princes are his toys, and he shall mock at every strong-hold, and shall cast a mound, and take possession of it.

bes@Habakkuk:1:11 @ Then shall he change his spirit, and he shall pass through, and make an atonement, saying, This strength belongs to my god.

bes@Habakkuk:1:12 @ Art not thou from the beginning, O Lord God, my Holy One? and surely we shall not die. O Lord, thou hast established it for judgement, and he has formed me to chasten with his correction.

bes@Habakkuk:1:13 @ His eye is too pure to behold evil doings, and to look upon grievous afflictions: wherefore dost thou look upon despisers? wilt thou be silent when the ungodly swallows up the just?

bes@Habakkuk:1:14 @ And wilt thou make men as the fishes of the sea, and as the reptiles which have no guide?

bes@Habakkuk:1:15 @ He has brought up destruction with a hook, and drawn one with a casting net, and caught another in his drags: therefore shall his heart rejoice and be glad.

bes@Habakkuk:1:16 @ Therefore will he sacrifice to his drag, and burn incense to his casting-net, because by them he has made his portion fat, and his meats choice.

bes@Habakkuk:1:17 @ Therefore will he cast his net, and will not spare to slay the nations continually.
