The oracle
which
Habakkuk
the prophet
saw.
2
How
long,
O LORD,
will I call for help,
And You will not hear?
I cry
out to You, "Violence!"
Yet You do not save.
3
Why
do You make me see
iniquity,
And cause me to look
on wickedness?
Yes, destruction
and violence
are before
me; Strife
exists
and contention
arises.
4
Therefore
the law
is ignored
And
justice
is never
upheld.
For the wicked
surround
the righteous;
Therefore
justice
comes
out perverted.
5
"Look
among the nations!
Observe!
Be astonished!
Wonder!
Because
I am doing
something
in your days--
You would not believe
if
you were told.
6
"For behold,
I am raising
up the Chaldeans,
That fierce
and impetuous
people
Who march
throughout
the earth
To seize
dwelling places
which are not theirs.
7
"They are dreaded
and feared;
Their justice
and authority
originate
with themselves.
8
"Their horses
are swifter
than
leopards
And keener
than
wolves
in the evening.
Their horsemen
come
galloping,
Their horsemen
come
from afar;
They fly
like an eagle
swooping
down to devour.
9
"All
of them come
for violence.
Their horde
of faces
moves forward.
They collect
captives
like sand.
10
"They mock
at kings
And rulers
are a laughing
matter to them. They laugh
at every
fortress
And heap
up rubble
to capture
it.
11
"Then
they will sweep through
like the wind
and pass
on. But they will be held guilty,
They whose
strength
is their god."
12
Are You not from everlasting,
O LORD,
my God,
my Holy One?
We will not die.
You,
O LORD,
have appointed
them to judge;
And You, O Rock,
have established
them to correct.
13
Your eyes
are too
pure
to approve
evil,
And You can
not look
on wickedness
with favor. Why
do You look
with favor On those who deal treacherously?
Why are You silent
when the wicked
swallow
up Those more
righteous
than
they?
14
Why have You made
men
like the fish
of the sea,
Like creeping things
without
a ruler
over them?
15
The Chaldeans bring
all
of them up with a hook,
Drag them away
with their net,
And gather
them together in their fishing net.
Therefore
they rejoice
and are glad.
16
Therefore
they offer a sacrifice
to their net
And burn incense
to their fishing net;
Because
through these things
their catch
is large,
And their food
is plentiful.
17
Will they therefore
empty
their net
And continually
slay
nations
without
sparing?
