Habakkuk 1 - King James Bible with Strong Numbers

¹ H4853The burdenH2265which HabakkukH5030the prophetH2372did see[H8804] .

² H3068O LORDH7768, how long shall I cry[H8765] H8085, and thou wilt not hear[H8799] H2199! even cry out[H8799] H2555unto thee of violenceH3467, and thou wilt not save[H8686] !

³ H7200Why dost thou shew[H8686] H205me iniquityH5027, and cause me to behold[H8686] H5999grievanceH7701? for spoilingH2555and violenceH5375are before me: and there are that raise up[H8799] H7379strifeH4066and contention.

⁴ H8451Therefore the lawH6313is slacked[H8799] H4941, and judgmentH5331doth neverH3318go forth[H8799] H7563: for the wickedH3803doth compass[H8688] H6662about the righteousH6127; therefore wrong[H8794] H4941judgmentH3318proceedeth[H8799] .

⁵ H7200Behold[H8798] H1471ye among the heathenH5027, and regard[H8685] H8539, and wonder[H8690] H8539marvellously[H8798] H6466: for I will work[H8802] H6467a workH3117in your daysH539, which ye will not believe[H8686] H5608, though it be told[H8792]  you .

⁶ H6965For, lo, I raise up[H8688] H3778the ChaldeansH4751, that bitterH4116and hasty[H8737] H1471nationH1980, which shall march[H8802] H4800through the breadthH776of the landH3423, to possess[H8800] H4908the dwellingplaces that are not theirs.

⁷ H366They are terribleH3372and dreadful[H8737] H4941: their judgmentH7613and their dignityH3318shall proceed[H8799]  of themselves.

⁸ H5483Their horsesH7043also are swifter[H8804] H5246than the leopardsH2300, and are more fierce[H8804] H6153than the eveningH2061wolvesH6571: and their horsemenH6335shall spread[H8804] H6571themselves, and their horsemenH935shall come[H8799] H7350from farH5774; they shall fly[H8799] H5404as the eagleH2363that hasteth[H8804] H398to eat[H8800] .

⁹ H935They shall come[H8799] H2555all for violenceH6440: their facesH4041shall sup upH6921as the east windH622, and they shall gather[H8799] H7628the captivityH2344as the sand.

¹⁰ H7046And they shall scoff[H8691] H4428at the kingsH7336, and the princes[H8802] H4890shall be a scornH7832unto them: they shall deride[H8799] H4013every strong holdH6651; for they shall heap[H8799] H6083dustH3920, and take[H8799]  it.

¹¹ H7307Then shall his mindH2498change[H8804] H5674, and he shall pass over[H8799] H816, and offend[H8804] H2098, imputing thisH3581his powerH433unto his god.

¹² H6924Art thou not from everlastingH3068, O LORDH430my GodH6918, mine Holy OneH4191? we shall not die[H8799] H3068. O LORDH7760, thou hast ordained[H8804] H4941them for judgmentH6697; and, O mighty GodH3245, thou hast established[H8804] H3198them for correction[H8687] .

¹³ H2889Thou art of purerH5869eyesH7200than to behold[H8800] H7451evilH3201, and canst[H8799] H5027not look[H8687] H5999on iniquityH5027: wherefore lookest[H8686] H898thou upon them that deal treacherously[H8802] H2790, and holdest thy tongue[H8686] H7563when the wickedH1104devoureth[H8763] H6662the man that is more righteous than he?

¹⁴ H6213And makest[H8799] H120menH1709as the fishesH3220of the seaH7431, as the creeping thingsH4910, that have no ruler[H8802]  over them?

¹⁵ H5927They take up[H8689] H2443all of them with the angleH1641, they catch[H8799] H2764them in their netH622, and gather[H8799] H4365them in their dragH8055: therefore they rejoice[H8799] H1523and are glad[H8799] .

¹⁶ H2076Therefore they sacrifice[H8762] H2764unto their netH6999, and burn incense[H8762] H4365unto their dragH1992; because by themH2506their portionH8082is fatH3978, and their meatH1277plenteous.

¹⁷ H7324Shall they therefore empty[H8686] H2764their netH2550, and not spare[H8799] H8548continuallyH2026to slay[H8800] H1471the nations?
