Revised Version 1895
Habakkuk 2:1-8
1I WILL standH5975 uponH5921 my watchH6822, and setH5975 meH7725 uponH5921 the tower, and will lookH7200 forthH3320 to seeH7200 whatH4100 he will speakH1696 with meH7725, and whatH4100 I shall answerH7725 concerning my complaint.
2And the LORDH3068 answeredH559 meH5921, and saidH559, WriteH3789 the visionH2377, and makeH7121 it plain uponH5921 tables, that he may runH7323 that readeth it.
3For the visionH2377 is yet for the appointedH4150 time, and it hasteth towardH935 the endH7093, and shall notH3808 lieH3576: thoughH3588 it tarryH309, waitH2442 for it; becauseH3588 it will surelyH3588 comeH935, it will notH3808 delayH309.
4BeholdH2009, his soulH5315 is puffed upH6662, it is notH3808 upright in him: but the justH6662 shall liveH2421 by his faithH530.
5YeaH3588, moreoverH637, wineH3196 is a treacherousH898 dealer, a haughtyH3093 manH1397, and that keepeth notH3808 at home; who enlargeth his desireH5315 as hell, and he is as deathH4194, and cannotH3808 be satisfiedH7646, but gathereth unto him allH3605 nationsH1471, and heapeth unto him allH3605 peoplesH5971.
6Shall notH3808 allH3605 theseH428 takeH5375 upH5375 a parableH4912 againstH5921 him, and a taunting proverbH4912 againstH5921 him, and sayH559, WoeH1945 to him that increaseth that whichH428 is notH3808 his! howH4970 longH5704? and that ladeth himselfH3513 with pledges!
7Shall they notH3808 riseH6965 upH6965 suddenlyH6621 that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?
8BecauseH3588 thou hast spoiled manyH7227 nationsH1471, allH3605 the remnant of the peoplesH5971 shall spoil thee; becauseH3588 of men’sH120 bloodH1818, and for the violenceH2555 doneH3605 to the landH776, to the cityH7151 and to allH3605 that dwellH3427 therein.
