Hab Habakkuk, chapter Book of Habakkuk, chapter 1
The burden, which Habakkuk the Prophet did see. O Lord, howe long shall I crye, and thou wilt not heare! euen crye out vnto thee for violence, and thou wilt not helpe! Psa 13:1Why doest thou shewe mee iniquitie, and cause me to beholde sorowe? for spoyling, and violence are before me: and there are that rayse vp strife and contention. Ezk 22:29Therefore the Lawe is dissolued, and iudgement doeth neuer go forth: for the wicked doeth compasse about the righteous: therefore wrong iudgement proceedeth. Job 21:7; Jer 12:1Beholde among the heathen, and regarde, and wonder, and maruaile: for I will worke a worke in your dayes: yee will not beleeue it, though it be tolde you. Act 13:41For lo, I raise vp the Caldeans, that bitter and furious nation, which shall goe vpon the breadth of the lande to possesse the dwelling places, that are not theirs. Jer 50:41They are terrible and fearefull: their iudgement and their dignitie shall proceede of theselues. Their horses also are swifter then the leopards, and are more fierce then the wolues in the euening: and their horsemen are many: and their horsemen shall come from farre: they shall flie as the eagle hasting to meate. Jer 4:13; Jer 5:6They come all to spoyle: before their faces shalbe an Eastwinde, and they shall gather the captiuitie, as the sand. And they shall mocke the Kings, and the princes shalbe a skorne vnto them: they shall deride euery strong holde: for they shall gather dust, and take it. Then shall they take a courage, and transgresse and doe wickedly, imputing this their power vnto their god. 2Ch 28:23Art thou not of olde, O Lord my God, mine holy one? we shall not die: O Lord, thou hast ordeined them for iudgement, and O God, thou hast established them for correction. Psa 38:1; Jer 10:24; Jer 46:28Thou art of pure eyes, and canst not see euill: thou canst not behold wickednesse: wherefore doest thou looke vpon the transgressors, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked deuoureth the man, that is more righteous then he? Mat 5:8; Hab 1:4And makest men as the fishes of the sea, and as the creeping things, that haue no ruler ouer them. They take vp all with the angle: they catch it in their net, and gather it in their yarne, whereof they reioyce and are glad. Mrk 12:13Therefore they sacrifice vnto their net, and burne incense vnto their yarne, because by them their portion is fat and their meat plenteous. Isa 10:13Shall they therefore stretch out their net and not spare continually to slay the nations?
