Book 35 : HABAKKUK - Chapter 002
002:001
And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make
it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it
002:002
For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it
shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it;
because it will surely come, it will not tarry
002:003
Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but
the just shall live by his faith
002:004
Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man,
neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and
is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him
all nations, and heapeth unto him all people
002:005
Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a
taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that
increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that
ladeth himself with thick clay
002:006
Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and
awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto
them
002:007
Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the
people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the
violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell
therein
002:008
Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house,
that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered
from the power of evil
002:009
Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many
people, and hast sinned against thy soul
002:010
For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of
the timber shall answer it
002:011
Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a
city by iniquity
002:012
Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall
labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves
for very vanity
002:013
For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory
of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea
002:014
Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy
bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest
look on their nakedness
002:015
Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let
thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD's right hand
shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on
thy glory
002:016
For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the spoil of
beasts, which made them afraid, because of men's blood, and
for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that
dwell therein
002:017
What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath
graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the
maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols
002:018
Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone,
Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and
silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it
002:019
But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep
silence before him
