Habakkuk 1:6-13

6For, loH2005, I raiseH6965 upH6965 the ChaldeansH3778, that bitterH4751 and hastyH4116 nationH1471; whichH1471 marchH1980 throughH1980 the breadth of the earthH776, to possessH3423 dwellingH4908 placesH4908 that are notH3808 theirs.

7They are terrible and dreadful: their judgmentH4941 and their dignityH7613 proceedH3318 from themselves.

8Their horsesH5483 also are swifterH7043 than leopardsH5246, and are more fierce than the eveningH6153 wolvesH2061; and their horsemenH6571 spread themselves: yea, their horsemenH6571 comeH935 from farH7350; they flyH5774 as an eagleH5404 that hasteth to devourH398.

9They comeH935 allH3605 of them for violenceH2555; their facesH6440 are setH935 eagerly as the eastH6921 windH6921; and they gatherH622 captivesH7628 as the sandH2344.

11Then shall he sweepH2498 by as a windH7307, and shall passH5674 over, and be guiltyH816: even he whoseH2098 might is his godH430.

12Art notH3808 thou from everlasting, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, mine HolyH6918 One? weH4191 shall notH3808 dieH4191. O LORDH3068, thou hast ordainedH7760 him for judgmentH4941; and thou, O RockH6697, hast establishedH3245 him for correction.

13Thou that art of purer eyesH5869 thanH4480 to beholdH7200 evilH7451, and that canst notH3808 lookH7200 on perverseness, wherefore lookest thou uponH413 them that dealH898 treacherouslyH898, and holdest thy peace when the wickedH7563 swalloweth upH7200 the manH7563 that is moreH4480 righteousH6662 thanH4480 he;
