Habakkuk
The burden which the prophet Habakkuk saw
Chapter 1:
- The burden which the prophet
Habakkuk
saw.
- O Lord, how long shall I cry, and
you
will not hear? Even cry out to You, "Violence!" (Lam.
3:8; Mic. 2:1) and
You will not save.
- Why do You show me iniquity, and
cause me to see trouble? For plundering and violence are before
me; there is strife, and contention arises.
- Their horses also are swifter than
leopards, and more fierce than evening wolves. (Jer. 4:13)
Their chargers charge ahead; their calvary comes from afar; they fly as
the eagle that hastens to eat. (Job
9:26; Hos. 8:1)
- You are of purer eyes than to
behold
evil, and cannot
look on wickedness. Why do You look on those who deal
treacherously, and hold Your tongue when the wicked devours one more
righteous than he? (Ps. 5:5;
Ps. 35:17)
- Why do You make men like fish of
the
sea, like creeping
things that have no rule over them?

Chapter 2:
- I will stand my watch and
set
myself on the
rampart, and watch to see what He will say to me (Is. 21:8;
Is.
21:11), and what I will answer when I am reproved.
- Then the Lord answered me and
said: "Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may
run who reads it. (Is. 8:1)
- For the vision is yet for an
appointed time; (Dan. 10:14; Dan. 8:17) but at the end it
will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it;
(Ezek. 12:24&25; Heb.
10:37&38) because it will
surely come, it will not tarry. (2
Pet. 3:9)
- "Behold the proud, his soul is
not upright in him; but the just shall live by his faith. (John 3:36; Rom. 1:17)
- "Indeed, because he
transgresses by wine, he
is a proud man, and he does not stay at home. Because he enlarges
his desire as hell, and he is like death, and cannot be satisfied, he
gathers to himself all nations and heaps up for himself all
peoples. (Prov. 27:20;
Is. 5:11
- 15)
- "Shall not all these take up
a proverb against
him, and a taunting riddle against him, and say, 'Woe to him who
increases
what is not his - how long? And to him who loads himself with
many
pledges?' (Prov. 20:21;
Mic. 2:4)

Chapter 3:
- A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet,
on Shigionoth.
- O Lord, I have heard your speech
and was afraid; O Lord, revive Your work in the midst of the
years! In the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember
mercy.
- God came from Teman, The Holy One
from Mount Paran. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth
was full of His praise.
- His brightness was like the
light; He had rays flashing from His hand, and there His power was
hidden.

- You walked through the sea with
Your horses, through the heap of great waters. (Ps. 77:19)
- When I heard, my body trembled;
my lips quivered at the voice; rottenness entered my bones; and I
trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble. When
he comes up to the people, he will invade them with his troops. (Ps. 119:120; Job 4:14)
- Though the fig tree may not
blossom, nor fruit be on the vines; though the labour of the olive may
fail, and the fields yield no food; though the flock be cut off from
the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls - -
- Yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will joy in the God of my salvation. (Is. 41:16;
Is. 61:10)
- The Lord God is my strength; He
will make my feet like deer's feet, (2 Sam. 22:34) and He
will make me walk on my high hills. (Deut. 32:13) To
the
Chief Musician. With my stringed instruments. (Ps. 18:33)
