<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v1_1">1</span> The revelation which Habakkuk the prophet saw. <span class="v" id="v1_2">2</span> LORD,<a class="noteref" id="fnref1_1" href="#fn1_1"><sup>*</sup></a> how long will I cry, and you will not hear? I cry out to you “Violence!” and will you not save? <span class="v" id="v1_3">3</span> Why do you show me iniquity, and look at perversity? For destruction and violence are before me. There is strife, and contention rises up. <span class="v" id="v1_4">4</span> Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails; for the wicked surround the righteous; therefore justice comes out perverted.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v1_5">5</span> “Look among the nations, watch, and wonder marvelously; for I am working a work in your days which you will not believe though it is told you. <span class="v" id="v1_6">6</span> For, behold,<a class="noteref" id="fnref1_2" href="#fn1_2"><sup>†</sup></a> I am raising up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation who march through the width of the earth, to possess dwelling places that are not theirs. <span class="v" id="v1_7">7</span> They are feared and dreaded. Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves. <span class="v" id="v1_8">8</span> Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves. Their horsemen press proudly on. Yes, their horsemen come from afar. They fly as an eagle that hurries to devour. <span class="v" id="v1_9">9</span> All of them come for violence. Their hordes face forward. They gather prisoners like sand. <span class="v" id="v1_10">10</span> Yes, they scoff at kings, and princes are a derision to them. They laugh at every stronghold, for they build up an earthen ramp and take it. <span class="v" id="v1_11">11</span> Then they sweep by like the wind and go on. They are indeed guilty, whose strength is their god.”</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v1_12">12</span> Aren’t you from everlasting, LORD my God,<a class="noteref" id="fnref1_3" href="#fn1_3"><sup>‡</sup></a> my Holy One? We will not die. LORD, you have appointed them for judgment. You, Rock, have established him to punish. <span class="v" id="v1_13">13</span> You who have purer eyes than to see evil, and who cannot look on perversity, why do you tolerate those who deal treacherously and keep silent when the wicked swallows up the man who is more righteous than he, <span class="v" id="v1_14">14</span> and make men like the fish of the sea, like the creeping things that have no ruler over them? <span class="v" id="v1_15">15</span> He takes up all of them with the hook. He catches them in his net and gathers them in his dragnet. Therefore he rejoices and is glad. <span class="v" id="v1_16">16</span> Therefore he sacrifices to his net and burns incense to his dragnet, because by them his life is luxurious and his food is good. <span class="v" id="v1_17">17</span> Will he therefore continually empty his net, and kill the nations without mercy?</p>

<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v2_1">1</span> I will stand at my watch and set myself on the ramparts, and will look out to see what he will say to me, and what I will answer concerning my complaint.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v2_2">2</span> The LORD answered me, “Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he who runs may read it. <span class="v" id="v2_3">3</span> For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it, because it will surely come. It won’t delay. <span class="v" id="v2_4">4</span> Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith. <span class="v" id="v2_5">5</span> Yes, moreover, wine is treacherous: an arrogant man who doesn’t stay at home, who enlarges his desire as Sheol;<a class="noteref" id="fnref2_1" href="#fn2_1"><sup>*</sup></a> he is like death and can’t be satisfied, but gathers to himself all nations and heaps to himself all peoples.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v2_6">6</span> Won’t all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, ‘Woe to him who increases that which is not his, and who enriches himself by extortion! How long?’ <span class="v" id="v2_7">7</span> Won’t your debtors rise up suddenly, and wake up those who make you tremble, and you will be their victim? <span class="v" id="v2_8">8</span> Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples will plunder you because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all who dwell in it.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v2_9">9</span> Woe to him who gets an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil! <span class="v" id="v2_10">10</span> You have devised shame to your house by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against your soul. <span class="v" id="v2_11">11</span> For the stone will cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the woodwork will answer it.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v2_12">12</span> Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity! <span class="v" id="v2_13">13</span> Behold, isn’t it from the LORD of Armies that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity? <span class="v" id="v2_14">14</span> For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD’s glory, as the waters cover the sea.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v2_15">15</span> “Woe to him who gives his neighbor drink, pouring your inflaming wine until they are drunk, so that you may gaze at their naked bodies! <span class="v" id="v2_16">16</span> You are filled with shame, and not glory. You will also drink and be exposed! The cup of the LORD’s right hand will come around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory. <span class="v" id="v2_17">17</span> For the violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, and the destruction of the animals will terrify you, because of men’s blood and for the violence done to the land, to every city and to those who dwell in them.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v2_18">18</span> “What value does the engraved image have, that its maker has engraved it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make mute idols? <span class="v" id="v2_19">19</span> Woe to him who says to the wood, ‘Awake!’ or to the mute stone, ‘Arise!’ Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all within it. <span class="v" id="v2_20">20</span> But the LORD is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before him!”</p>
