BIBLE TEXT BEGINS:
The
burden which
Habakkuk the prophet did see. O LORD,
how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of
violence, and thou wilt not save! 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, and
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: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you. 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. They are
terrible and
dreadful: their
judgment and
their
dignity shall proceed of themselves. 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. They shall come all for
violence: their faces
shall
sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity
as the sand.
And they shall
scoff at the kings, and the
princes shall be a scorn unto them: they
shall deride every stronghold; for
they shall heap dust, and take it. Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and
offend, imputing this his power unto his god.
Art thou not
from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine
Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD,
thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast
established them for correction. Thou art of
purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and
holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he? And makest men
as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them? They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad. Therefore they
sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous. Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?
