1 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet Habakkuk saw.
2 O LORD, how long shall I shout, and You will not hear! Even shout out to You of violence, and You will not save!
3 Why do You show me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievous things? Because, plundering and violence are before me; and there are those that stir up strife and contention arises.
4 Therefore the law is weakened, and justice never goes forth. Because, the wicked surrounds the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceeds.
5 “Behold, you among the heathen, take reguard, marvel, and wonder. Because, I will work a work in your days which you will not believe, though it were told to you.
6 Because, behold I am raising up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation which will march through the breadth of the earth, to possess the dwelling places that are not theirs.
7 They are terrible and dreadful; their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.
8 Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves. And their horsemen will spread themselves; and their horsemen will come from afar; they will fly as the eagle that hurries to eat.
9 “They will all come for violence; their faces will eat up like the east wind, and they will gather the captives as the sand.
10 And they will scoff at the kings, and princes will be a scorn to them. They will deride every stronghold, because they will heap up the dust and take it.
11 Then his mind will change, and he will pass over, and offend, ascribing this, his power, to his god.”
12 Are You not from everlasting, O LORD my God, my Holy One? We will not die. O LORD, You have ordained them for judgment; O mighty God, You have established them for correction.
13 You are of purer eyes than to behold evil, and cannot look on iniquity. Why do You look on those who deal treacherously, and hold Your tongue when the wicked devours "the man that is more righteous than he is?
14 And make men like fish of the sea, like the creeping things that have no ruler over them?
15 They take up all of them with a hook, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their dragnet. Therefore they rejoice and are glad.
16 Therefore they sacrifice to their net, and burn incense to their dragnet; because by them their portion is lavish and their food plentiful.
17 Shall they therefore empty their net, and not cease to continuously slay the nations?
