| Habakkuk 1:1 | The burden that Habacuc the prophet saw. | The word which Habakkuk the prophet saw. | The burden that Habakkuk the prophet hath seen: |
| 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. | Till when, O Jehovah, have I cried, And Thou dost not hear? I cry unto Thee `Violence,` and Thou dost 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 dost Thou shew me iniquity, And perversity dost cause to behold? And spoiling and violence [are] before me, And there is strife, and contention doth lift [itself] 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 doth law cease, And judgment doth not go forth for ever, For the wicked is compassing the righteous, Therefore wrong judgment goeth forth. |
| 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 ye on nations, and behold and marvel greatly. For a work He is working in your days, Ye do not believe though it is declared. |
| 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, lo, I am raising up the Chaldeans, The bitter and hasty nation, That is going to the broad places of earth, To occupy tabernacles not its own. |
| 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. | Terrible and fearful it [is], From itself its judgment and its excellency go forth. |
| 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. | Swifter than leopards have been its horses, And sharper than evening wolves, And increased have its horsemen, Even its horsemen from afar come in, They fly as an eagle, hasting to consume. |
| 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. | Wholly for violence it doth come in, Their faces swallowing up the east wind, And it doth gather as the sand a captivity. |
| 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. | And at kings it doth scoff, And princes [are] a laughter to it, At every fenced place it doth laugh, And it heapeth up dust, and captureth 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 passed on hath the spirit, Yea, he doth transgress, And doth ascribe this his power to 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. | Art not Thou of old, O Jehovah, my God, my Holy One? We do not die, O Jehovah, For judgment Thou hast appointed it, And, O Rock, for reproof Thou hast founded it. |
| 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? | Purer of eyes than to behold evil, To look on perverseness Thou art not able, Why dost Thou behold the treacherous? Thou keepest silent when the wicked Doth swallow the 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 Thou makest man as fishes of the sea, As a creeping thing none ruling over him. |
| 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. | Each of them with a hook he hath brought up, He doth catch it in his net, and gathereth it in his drag, Therefore he doth joy and rejoice. |
| 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 doth sacrifice to his net, And doth make perfume to his drag, For by them [is] his portion fertile, and his food fat. |
| 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. | Doth he therefore empty his net, And continually to slay nations spare not? |
