Habakkuk Chapter 1 1 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
2
O Jehovah/God,
Even
cry out unto You of violence,
3
Why do You show me iniquity, For spoiling and violence are before me. And there are those who raise up strife and contention.
4
Therefore the law is slacked, Therefore wrong judgment proceeds.
{Paul
quotes in Acts 13:41}
6
For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, 7 They are terrible and dreadful. Their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
{Description
of Chaldean Cavalry}
And
their horses 'paw the ground'
They
fly like the eagle that swoops down to devour. 9 They shall come all for violence.
Their
faces shall sup up as the east wind,
10
And they shall scoff at the kings,
They
shall deride every strong hold . . .
11
Then shall his mind change,
12
{Are} You not from everlasting, We shall not die.
O
Jehovah/God, You have ordained them for judgment;
13
You are of purer eyes than to behold evil,
Why
do You look upon them that deal treacherously,
14
And make men as the fishes of the sea,
15
They take up all of them with the angle, Therefore they rejoice and are glad.
16
Therefore they sacrifice unto their net,
17
Shall they therefore empty their net,
