| Habakkuk 1:1 | The burden that Habacuc the prophet saw. | The word which Habakkuk the prophet saw. | The oracle which Habakkuk the prophet saw. |
| Habakkuk 1:2 | How long, O Lord, shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear? shall I cry out to thee suffering violence, and thou wilt not save? | How long, O Lord, will your ears be shut to my voice? I make an outcry to you about violent behaviour, but you do not send salvation. | Yahweh, how long will I cry, and you will not hear? I cry out to you "Violence!" and will you not save? |
| Habakkuk 1:3 | Why hast thou shewn me iniquity and grievance, to see rapine and injustice before me? and there is a judgment, but opposition is more powerful. | Why do you make me see evil-doing, and why are my eyes fixed on wrong? for wasting and violent acts are before me: and there is fighting and bitter argument. | Why do you show me iniquity, and look at perversity? For destruction and violence are before me. There is strife, and contention rises up. |
| Habakkuk 1:4 | Therefore the law is torn in pieces, and judgment cometh not to the end: because the wicked prevaileth against the just, therefore wrong judgment goeth forth. | For this reason the law is feeble and decisions are not effected: for the upright man is circled round by evil-doers; because of which right is twisted. | Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth; for the wicked surround the righteous; therefore justice goes forth perverted. |
| Habakkuk 1:5 | Behold ye among the nations, and see: wonder, and be astonished: for a work is done in your days, which no man will believe when it shall be told. | See among the nations, and take note, and be full of wonder: for in your days I am doing a work in which you will have no belief, even if news of it is given to you. | "Look among the nations, watch, and wonder marvelously; for I am working a work in your days, which you will not believe though it is told you. |
| Habakkuk 1:6 | For behold, I will raise up the Chaldeans, a bitter and swift nation, marching upon the breadth of the earth, to possess the dwelling places that are not their own. | For see, I am sending the Chaldaeans, that bitter and quick-moving nation; who go through the wide spaces of the earth to get for themselves living-places which are not theirs. | For, behold, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, that march through the breadth of the earth, to possess dwelling places that are not theirs. |
| Habakkuk 1:7 | They are dreadful, and terrible: from themselves shall their judgment, and their burden proceed. | They are greatly to be feared: their right comes from themselves. | They are feared and dreaded. Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves. |
| Habakkuk 1:8 | Their horses are lighter than leopards, and swifter than evening wolves; and their horsemen shall be spread abroad: for their horsemen shall come from afar, they shall fly as an eagle that maketh haste to eat. | And their horses are quicker than leopards and their horsemen more cruel than evening wolves; they come from far away, like an eagle in flight rushing on its food. | Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves. Their horsemen press proudly on. Yes, their horsemen come from afar. They fly as an eagle that hurries to devour. |
| Habakkuk 1:9 | They shall all come to the prey, their face is like a burning wind: and they shall gather together captives as the sand. | They are coming all of them with force; the direction of their faces is forward, the number of their prisoners is like the sands of the sea. | All of them come for violence. Their hordes face the desert. He gathers prisoners like sand. |
| Habakkuk 1:10 | And their prince shall triumph over kings, and princes shall be his laughingstock: and he shall laugh at every strong hold, and shall cast up a mount, and shall take it. | He makes little of kings, rulers are a sport to him; all the strong places are to be laughed at; for he makes earthworks and takes them. | Yes, he scoffs at kings, and princes are a derision to him. He laughs at every stronghold, for he builds up an earthen ramp, and takes it. |
| Habakkuk 1:11 | Then shall his spirit be changed, and he shall pass, and fall: this is his strength of his god. | Then his purpose will be changed, over-stepping the limit; he will make his strength his god. | Then he sweeps by like the wind, and goes on. He is indeed guilty, whose strength is his god." |
| Habakkuk 1:12 | Wast thou not from the beginning, O Lord my God, my holy one, and we shall not die? Lord, thou hast appointed him for judgment: and made him strong for correction. | Are you not eternal, O Lord my God, my Holy One? for you there is no death. O Lord, he has been ordered by you for our punishment; and by you, O Rock, he has been marked out to put us right. | Aren't you from everlasting, Yahweh my God, my Holy One? We will not die. Yahweh, you have appointed him for judgment. You, Rock, have established him to punish. |
| Habakkuk 1:13 | Thy eyes are too pure to behold evil, and thou canst not look on iniquity. Why lookest thou upon them that do unjust things, and holdest thy peace when the wicked devoureth the man that is more just than himself? | Before your holy eyes sin may not be seen, and you are unable to put up with wrong; why, then, are your eyes on the false? why do you say nothing when the evil-doer puts an end to one who is more upright than himself? | You who have purer eyes than to see evil, and who cannot look on perversity, why do you tolerate those who deal treacherously, and keep silent when the wicked swallows up the man who is more righteous than he, |
| Habakkuk 1:14 | And thou wilt make men as the fishes of the sea, and as the creeping things that have no ruler. | He has made men like the fishes of the sea, like the worms which have no ruler over them. | and make men like the fish of the sea, like the creeping things, that have no ruler over them? |
| Habakkuk 1:15 | He lifted up all them with his hook, he drew them in his drag, and gathered them into his net: for this he will be glad and rejoice. | He takes them all up with his hook, he takes them in his net, getting them together in his fishing-net: for which cause he is glad and full of joy. | He takes up all of them with the hook. He catches them in his net, and gathers them in his dragnet. Therefore he rejoices and is glad. |
| Habakkuk 1:16 | Therefore will he offer victims to his drag, and he will sacrifice to his net: because through them his portion is made fat, and his meat dainty. | For this reason he makes an offering to his net, burning perfume to his fishing-net; because by them he gets much food and his meat is fat. | Therefore he sacrifices to his net, and burns incense to his dragnet, because by them his life is luxurious, and his food is good. |
| Habakkuk 1:17 | For this cause therefore he spreadeth his net, and will not spare continually to slay the nations. | For this cause his net is ever open, and there is no end to his destruction of the nations. | Will he therefore continually empty his net, and kill the nations without mercy? |
