1The Prophet Questions God's Judgments<br/>The burden which Habakkuk the prophet saw.
2The Prophet's <n>(First)</n> Question<br/>O LORD, how long shall I cry, and You will not hear? Even cry out unto You of violence, and You will not save?
3Why dost You show me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? For despoiling and violence are before me, and there are those that raise up strife and contention.
4Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment does never go forth. For the wicked does compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.
5The LORD's Reply<br/>"Behold you among the heathen and regard, and wonder marvelously; for I will work a work in your days which you will not believe, though it be told you.
6For lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land to possess the dwelling places that are not theirs.
7They are terrible and dreadful; their judgment and their dignity shall proceed from themselves.
8Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves. And their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from afar; they shall fly as the vulture that hasteneth to eat.
9They shall come all for violence; their faces shall consume as the east wind, and they shall gather the captives as the sand.
10And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them. They shall deride every stronghold, for they shall heap up dirt and take it.
11Then shall his mind change; and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his God ."
12The Prophet's <n>(Second)</n> Question<br/>Are You not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? We shall not die. O LORD, You have ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, You have established them for correction.
13You are of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity. Why lookest You upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest Your tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?
14And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things that have no ruler over them?
15They take up all of them with the hook; they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag; therefore they rejoice and are glad.
16Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag, because by them their portion is fat and their meat plenteous.
17Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?
