| Habakkuk 2:1 | On my charge I stand, and I station myself on a bulwark, and I watch to see what He doth speak against me, and what I do reply to my reproof. | I will take my position and be on watch, placing myself on my tower, looking out to see what he will say to me, and what answer he will give to my protest. | I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. |
| Habakkuk 2:2 | And Jehovah answereth me and saith: `Write a vision, and explain on the tables, That he may run who is reading it. | And the Lord gave me an answer, and said, Put the vision in writing and make it clear on stones, so that the reader may go quickly. | And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. |
| Habakkuk 2:3 | For yet the vision [is] for a season, And it breatheth for the end, and doth not lie, If it tarry, wait for it, For surely it cometh, it is not late. | For the vision is still for the fixed time, and it is moving quickly to the end, and it will not be false: even if it is slow in coming, go on waiting for it; because it will certainly come, it will not be kept back. | 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. |
| Habakkuk 2:4 | Lo, a presumptuous one! Not upright is his soul within him, And the righteous by his stedfastness liveth. | As for the man of pride, my soul has no pleasure in him; but the upright man will have life through his good faith. | Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith. |
| Habakkuk 2:5 | And also, because the wine [is] treacherous, A man is haughty, and remaineth not at home, Who hath enlarged as sheol his soul, And is as death that is not satisfied, And doth gather unto itself all the nations, And doth assemble unto itself all the peoples, | A curse on the cruel and false one! the man full of pride, who never has enough; who makes his desires wide as the underworld! he is like death; he is never full, but he makes all nations come to him, getting all peoples together to himself. | 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: |
| Habakkuk 2:6 | Do not these all of them against him a simile taken up, And a moral of acute sayings for him, And say, Wo [to] him who is multiplying [what is] not his? Till when also is he multiplying to himself heavy pledges? | Will not all these take up a word of shame against him and a bitter saying against him, and say, A curse on him who goes on taking what is not his and is weighted down with the property of debtors! | 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! |
| Habakkuk 2:7 | Do not thy usurers instantly rise up, And those shaking thee awake up, And thou hast been for a spoil to them? | Will not your creditors suddenly be moved against you, and your troublers get up from their sleep, and you will be to them like goods taken in war? | Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them? |

| Habakkuk 2:10 | Thou hast counselled a shameful thing to thy house, To cut off many peoples, and sinful [is] thy soul. | You have been a cause of shame to your house by cutting off a number of peoples, and sinning against your soul. | Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul. |

| Habakkuk 2:14 | For full is the earth of the knowledge of the honour of Jehovah, As waters cover [the bottom of] a sea. | For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the sea is covered by the waters. | For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. |
| Habakkuk 2:15 | Wo [to] him who is giving drink to his neighbour, Pouring out thy bottle, and also making drunk, In order to look on their nakedness. | A curse on him who gives his neighbour the wine of his wrath, making him overcome with strong drink from the cup of his passion, so that you may be a witness of their shame! | 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! |
| Habakkuk 2:16 | Thou hast been filled shame without honour, Drink thou also, and be uncircumcised, Turn round unto thee doth the cup of the right hand of Jehovah, And shameful spewing [is] on thine honour. | You are full of shame in place of glory: take your part in the drinking, and let your shame be uncovered: the cup of the Lord's right hand will come round to you and your glory will be covered with shame. | 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. |

See, it is plated with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all inside it. | 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. |
