RF HAB 1:1 The Burden that Habakuk, the Preacher saw.
RF HAB 1:2 His Appeal to God.
How long, Lord shall I shout—
And You not attend to my cry?
To You I shriek out when oppressed.
But you listen not!
RF HAB 1:3 Why do I see passion and sin?
With bribery and wrong in my presence—
And contention, and strife rising up?
RF HAB 1:4 For the law is relaxed, and the right never wins,
But the wicked encircle the good,
So the criminal gains the decree!
RF HAB 1:5 Nations! look and reflect, and observe
For a work I will do in your days,
You will not believe it if told!
RF HAB 1:6 I will raise up the Kasdim, a nation ferocious
Who will march from a country afar,
To Seize dwellings that are not their own.
RF HAB 1:7 And with them are Terror and Fear,
They make law and rules for themselves;
RF HAB 1:8 Their horses are swifter than leopards,
And fiercer than ravening wolves!
Their proud cavalry rich from afar,
They come, they fly on like an Eagle
That rushes along to devour!
RF HAB 1:9 All of them came on for plunder!
Greedy faced as the wind of the east,
And they gather up slaves like the sand!
RF HAB 1:10 They scoff at Kings, laugh at the Princes,
and they jeer all fortifications,
For they take them by heaping up dust!
RF HAB 1:11 As the tempest sweeps by, and it passes,
So he sees by his trust on his God.
RF HAB 1:12 But are You not Lord from of old?
My Holy God! we shall not die,
You appointed him Lord by Decree,
And, My Rock, You empowered him to punish!
RF HAB 1:13 Your pure eyes never sanction the wrong,
And oppression You will not endure,
Then why do You look on the traitors,
And are dumb when the bad rob the good?
RF HAB 1:14 And make men like the fish of the sea,
And like reptiles with no one to rule?
RF HAB 1:15 He pulls them all out with his hook,
Sweeps his net or collects in his drag,
He therefore can laugh and rejoice,
RF HAB 1:16 So worships his net, burns sweets to his drag,
For he prospers by them on good food.
RF HAB 1:17 Should he not therefore spread out his net,
And continually Nations destroy?
