Habakkuk 1:1-12 (Listen)
1 aThe oracle that Habakkuk the prophet saw.
Habakkuk's Complaint
2 O Lord, bhow long shall I cry for help,
Or cry to you c“Violence!”
3 dWhy do you make me see iniquity,
and why do you idly look at wrong?
Destruction cand violence are before me;
4 eSo the law is paralyzed,
fFor the wicked surround the righteous;
so justice goes forth perverted.
The Lord's Answer
5 g“Look among the nations, and see;
hFor I am doing a work in your days
that you would not believe if told.
6 For behold, iI am raising up the Chaldeans,
jwho march through the breadth of the earth,
kto seize dwellings not their own.
7 They are dreaded and fearsome;
ltheir justice and dignity go forth from themselves.
8 mTheir horses are swifter than leopards,
more fierce than nthe evening wolves;
their horsemen press proudly on.
Their horsemen come from afar;
othey fly like an eagle swift to devour.
9 They all come pfor violence,
They gather captives rlike sand.
sThey laugh at every fortress,
for tthey pile up earth and take it.
11 Then they sweep by like the wind and go on,
uguilty men, vwhose own might is their god!”
Habakkuk's Second Complaint
12 Are you not wfrom everlasting,
xWe shall not die.
O Lord, yyou have ordained them as a judgment,
and you, O zRock, have established them for reproof.
