King James Version with Strongs Numbers - Habakkuk 1 << | >> 123 1:1 The burden4853 which Habakkuk2265 the prophet5030 did see2372. 1:2 O LORD3068, how long shall I cry7768, and thou wilt not hear8085! {even} cry out2199 unto thee {of} violence2555, and thou wilt not save3467! 1:3 Why dost thou shew7200 me iniquity0205, and cause {me} to behold5027 grievance5999? for spoiling7701 and violence2555 {are} before me: and there are {that} raise up5375 strife7379 and contention4066. 1:4 Therefore the law8451 is slacked6313, and judgment4941 doth never5331 go forth3318: for the wicked7563 doth compass3803 about the righteous6662; therefore wrong6127 judgment4941 proceedeth3318. 1:5 Behold7200 ye among the heathen1471, and regard5027, and wonder8539 marvellously8539: for {I} will work6466 a work6467 in your days3117, {which} ye will not believe0539, though it be told5608 {you}. 1:6 For, lo, I raise up6965 the Chaldeans3778, {that} bitter4751 and hasty4116 nation1471, which shall march1980 through the breadth4800 of the land0776, to possess3423 the dwellingplaces4908 {that are} not theirs. 1:7 They {are} terrible0366 and dreadful3372: their judgment4941 and their dignity7613 shall proceed3318 of themselves. 1:8 Their horses5483 also are swifter7043 than the leopards5246, and are more fierce2300 than the evening6153 wolves2061: and their horsemen6571 shall spread6335 themselves, and their horsemen6571 shall come0935 from far7350; they shall fly5774 as the eagle5404 {that} hasteth2363 to eat0398. 1:9 They shall come0935 all for violence2555: their faces6440 shall sup up4041 {as} the east wind6921, and they shall gather0622 the captivity7628 as the sand2344. 1:10 And they shall scoff7046 at the kings4428, and the princes7336 shall be a scorn4890 unto them: they shall deride7832 every strong hold4013; for they shall heap6651 dust6083, and take3920 it. 1:11 Then shall {his} mind7307 change2498, and he shall pass over5674, and offend0816, {imputing} this2098 his power3581 unto his god0433. 1:12 {Art} thou not from everlasting6924, O LORD3068 my God0430, mine Holy One6918? we shall not die4191. O LORD3068, thou hast ordained7760 them for judgment4941; and, O mighty God6697, thou hast established3245 them for correction3198. 1:13 {Thou art} of purer2889 eyes5869 than to behold7200 evil7451, and canst3201 not look5027 on iniquity5999: wherefore lookest5027 thou upon them that deal treacherously0898, {and} holdest thy tongue2790 when the wicked7563 devoureth1104 {the man that is} more righteous6662 than he? 1:14 And makest6213 men0120 as the fishes1709 of the sea3220, as the creeping things7431, {that have} no ruler4910 over them? 1:15 They take up5927 all of them with the angle2443, they catch1641 them in their net2764, and gather0622 them in their drag4365: therefore they rejoice8055 and are glad1523. 1:16 Therefore they sacrifice2076 unto their net2764, and burn incense6999 unto their drag4365; because by them1992 their portion2506 {is} fat8082, and their meat3978 plenteous1277. 1:17 Shall they therefore empty7324 their net2764, and not spare2550 continually8548 to slay2026 the nations1471?
