Hab Habakkuk, chapter Book of Habakkuk, chapter 1
The burden that Habakkuk the prophet has seen: Until when, O YHWH, have I cried, || And You do not hear? I cry to You, “Violence!” And You do not save. Psa 13:1Why do You show me iniquity, || And cause [me] to behold perversity? And spoiling and violence [are] before me, || And there is strife, and contention lifts [itself] up, Ezk 22:29Therefore law ceases, || And judgment does not go forth forever, || For the wicked is surrounding the righteous, || Therefore wrong judgment goes forth. Job 21:7; Jer 12:1“Look on nations, and behold and marvel greatly. For a work He is working in yöur days, || Yöu do not believe though it is declared. Act 13:41For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans, || The bitter and hasty nation, || That is going to the broad places of earth, || To occupy dwelling places not his own. Jer 50:41He [is] terrible and fearful, || His judgment and his excellence go forth from him. His horses have been swifter than leopards, || And sharper than evening wolves, || And his horsemen have increased, || Even his horsemen from afar come in, || They fly as an eagle, hastening to consume. Jer 4:13; Jer 5:6All for violence—he comes in, || Their faces swallowing up the east wind, || And he gathers a captivity as the sand. And he scoffs at kings, || And princes [are] a laughter to him, || He laughs at every fortification, || And he heaps up dust, and captures it. Then the spirit has passed on, || Indeed, he transgresses, || And [ascribes] this—his power—to his god.” 2Ch 28:23Are You not of old, O YHWH, my God, my Holy One? We do not die, O YHWH, || You have appointed him for judgment, || And, O Rock, You have founded him for reproof. Psa 38:1; Jer 10:24; Jer 46:28Purer of eyes than to behold evil, || You are not able to look on perverseness, || Why do You behold the treacherous? You keep silent when the wicked || Swallow the more righteous than he, Mat 5:8; Hab 1:4And You make man as fishes of the sea, || As a creeping thing [with] none ruling over him. He has brought up each of them with a hook, || He catches it in his net, and gathers it in his dragnet, || Therefore he delights and rejoices. Mrk 12:13Therefore he sacrifices to his net, || And makes incense to his dragnet, || For by them [is] his portion fertile, and his food fat. Isa 10:13Does he therefore empty his net, || And continually not spare to slay nations?
