Habakkuk Chapter 1 - King James Strong Number Version

1: The burden <H4853> which Habakkuk <H2265> the prophet <H5030> did see. <H2372>
2: O LORD, <H3068> how long shall I cry, <H7768> and thou wilt not hear! <H8085> [even] cry out <H2199> unto thee [of] violence, <H2555> and thou wilt not save! <H3467>
3: Why dost thou shew <H7200> me iniquity, <H0205> and cause [me] to behold <H5027> grievance? <H5999> for spoiling <H7701> and violence <H2555> [are] before me: and there are [that] raise up <H5375> strife <H7379> and contention. <H4066>
4: Therefore the law <H8451> is slacked, <H6313> and judgment <H4941> doth never <H3808> <H5331> go forth: <H3318> for the wicked <H7563> doth compass <H3803> about the righteous; <H6662> therefore wrong <H6127> judgment <H4941> proceedeth. <H3318>
5: Behold <H7200> ye among the heathen, <H1471> and regard, <H5027> and wonder <H8539> marvellously: <H8539> for [I] will work <H6466> a work <H6467> in your days, <H3117> [which] ye will not believe, <H0539> though it be told <H5608> [you].
6: For, lo, I raise up <H6965> the Chaldeans, <H3778> [that] bitter <H4751> and hasty <H4116> nation, <H1471> which shall march <H1980> through the breadth <H4800> of the land, <H0776> to possess <H3423> the dwellingplaces <H4908> [that are] not theirs.
7: They [are] terrible <H0366> and dreadful: <H3372> their judgment <H4941> and their dignity <H7613> shall proceed <H3318> of themselves.
8: Their horses <H5483> also are swifter <H7043> than the leopards, <H5246> and are more fierce <H2300> than the evening <H6153> wolves: <H2061> and their horsemen <H6571> shall spread <H6335> themselves, and their horsemen <H6571> shall come <H0935> from far; <H7350> they shall fly <H5774> as the eagle <H5404> [that] hasteth <H2363> to eat. <H0398>
9: They shall come <H0935> all for violence: <H2555> their faces <H6440> shall sup up <H4041> [as] the east wind, <H6921> and they shall gather <H0622> the captivity <H7628> as the sand. <H2344>
10: And they shall scoff <H7046> at the kings, <H4428> and the princes <H7336> shall be a scorn <H4890> unto them: they shall deride <H7832> every strong hold; <H4013> for they shall heap <H6651> dust, <H6083> and take <H3920> it.
11: Then shall [his] mind <H7307> change, <H2498> and he shall pass over, <H5674> and offend, <H0816> [imputing] this <H2098> his power <H3581> unto his god. <H0433>
12: [Art] thou not from everlasting, <H6924> O LORD <H3068> my God, <H0430> mine Holy One? <H6918> we shall not die. <H4191> O LORD, <H3068> thou hast ordained <H7760> them for judgment; <H4941> and, O mighty God, <H6697> thou hast established <H3245> them for correction. <H3198>
13: [Thou art] of purer <H2889> eyes <H5869> than to behold <H7200> evil, <H7451> and canst <H3201> not look <H5027> on iniquity: <H5999> wherefore lookest <H5027> thou upon them that deal treacherously, <H0898> [and] holdest thy tongue <H2790> when the wicked <H7563> devoureth <H1104> [the man that is] more righteous <H6662> than he?
14: And makest <H6213> men <H0120> as the fishes <H1709> of the sea, <H3220> as the creeping things, <H7431> [that have] no ruler <H4910> over them?
15: They take up <H5927> all of them with the angle, <H2443> they catch <H1641> them in their net, <H2764> and gather <H0622> them in their drag: <H4365> therefore they rejoice <H8055> and are glad. <H1523>
16: Therefore they sacrifice <H2076> unto their net, <H2764> and burn incense <H6999> unto their drag; <H4365> because by them <H1992> their portion <H2506> [is] fat, <H8082> and their meat <H3978> plenteous. <H1277>
17: Shall they therefore empty <H7324> their net, <H2764> and not spare <H2550> continually <H8548> to slay <H2026> the nations? <H1471>
