Habakkuk 2:1 I will stand5975 upon my watch,4931 and set3320 me upon the tower,4692{Or, fortress} and will look7200 forth to see7200 what he will speak1696 with{Or, by} me, and what I shall answer7725 concerning my complaint.84332 And Jehovah3068 answered6030 me, and said,559 Write3789 the vision,2377 and make it plain874 upon tablets,3871 that he may run7323 that readeth it.71213 For the vision2377 is yet for the appointed time,4150 and it hasteth{Hebrew panteth.} toward the end,7093 and shall6315 not lie:3576 though it tarry,4102 wait2442 for it; because it will surely935 come,935 it will not delay.309
Habakkuk 2:4 Behold, his soul5315 is puffed up,6075 it is not upright3474{Or, straight} in him; but the righteous6662 shall live2421 by{Or, in his faithfulness} his faith.5305 Yea,{Or, And also because his wine . . . he is a haughty man} moreover, wine3196 is treacherous,898 a haughty3093 man,1397 that{Or, he shall not abide} keepeth not at home;5115 who enlargeth7337 his desire5315 as Sheol,7585 and he is as death,4194 and cannot be satisfied,7646 but gathereth622 unto him all nations,1471 and heapeth6908 unto him all peoples.59716 Shall not all these take up5375 a parable4912 against him, and a taunting4426 proverb2420{Or, riddle} against him, and say,559 Woe1945 to him that increaseth7235 that which is not his! how long? and that ladeth3513 himself with pledges!
7 Shall they not rise up6965 suddenly6621 that shall bite5391{Or, exact usury of thee} thee, and awake3364 that shall vex2111{Or, toss thee to and fro} thee, and thou shalt be for booty unto them?49338 Because thou hast plundered7997 many7227 nations,1471 all the remnant3499 of the peoples5971 shall plunder7997 thee, because of men's120 blood,1818 and for the violence2555 done to the land,776 to the city7151 and to all that dwell therein.3427
Habakkuk 2:9 Woe1945 to him that getteth1214 an evil7451 gain1215 for his house,1004 that he may set7760 his nest7064 on high,4791 that he may be delivered5337 from the hand3709 of evil!745110 Thou hast devised3289 shame1322 to thy house,1004 by cutting off7096 many7227 peoples,5971 and hast sinned2398 against thy soul.531511 For the stone68 shall cry out2199 of the wall,7023 and the beam out3714 of the timber6086 shall answer it.6030
Habakkuk 2:12 Woe1945 to him that buildeth1129 a town5892 with blood,1818 and establisheth3559 a city7151 by iniquity!576613 Behold, is it not of Jehovah3068 of hosts6635 that the peoples5971 labor3021 for the1767 fire,784 and the nations3816 weary3286 themselves for1767 vanity?738514 For the earth776 shall be filled4390 with the knowledge3045 of the glory3519 of Jehovah,3068 as the waters4325 cover3680 the sea.3220
Habakkuk 2:15 Woe1945 unto him that giveth his neighbor7453 drink,8248tothee that addest5596{Or, pourest} thy venom,2573{Or, fury} and makest him drunken7937 also, that thou mayest look5027 on their nakedness!458916 Thou art filled7646 with shame,7036 and not glory:3519 drink8354 thou also, and be{Or, let thy foreskin be uncovered} as one uncircumcised;6188 the cup3563 of Jehovah's3068 right hand3225 shall come round5437 unto thee, and foul shame7022 shall be upon thy glory.351917 For the violence2555 done to Lebanon3844 shall cover3680 thee, and the destruction7701 of the beasts,929 which made them afraid;2865 because of men's120 blood,1818 and for the violence2555 done to the land,776 to the city7151 and to all that dwell therein.3427
Habakkuk 2:18 What profiteth3276 the graven image,6459 that the maker3335 thereof hath graven6458 it; the molten image,4541 even the teacher3384 of lies,8267 that he that fashioneth3335 its form3336 trusteth982 therein, to make6213 dumb483 idols?45719 Woe1945 unto him that saith559 to the wood,6086 Awake;6974 to the dumb1748 stone,68 Arise!5782 Shall this teach?3384 Behold, it is overlaid8610 with gold2091 and silver,3701 and there is no breath7307 at all in the midst of it.713020 But Jehovah3068 is in his holy6944 temple:1964 let{Hebrew be silent before him, all the earth.} all the earth776 keep silence2013 before him.6440
