Read Bible Book Of Habakkuk Chapter 1 In Online
2 - How Long, O Lord , Must I Call For Help, But You Do Not Listen? Or Cry Out To You, "Violence!" But You Do Not Save?
3 - Why Do You Make Me Look At Injustice? Why Do You Tolerate Wrong? Destruction And Violence Are Before Me; There Is Strife, And Conflict Abounds.
4 - Therefore The Law Is Paralyzed, And Justice Never Prevails. The Wicked Hem In The Righteous, So That Justice Is Perverted.
5 - "Look At The Nations And Watch- And Be Utterly Amazed. For I Am Going To Do Something In Your Days That You Would Not Believe, Even If You Were Told.
6 - I Am Raising Up The Babylonians, That Ruthless And Impetuous People, Who Sweep Across The Whole Earth To Seize Dwelling Places Not Their Own.
8 - Their Horses Are Swifter Than Leopards, Fiercer Than Wolves At Dusk. Their Cavalry Gallops Headlong; Their Horsemen Come From Afar. They Fly Like A Vulture Swooping To Devour;
9 - They All Come Bent On Violence. Their Hordes Advance Like A Desert Wind And Gather Prisoners Like Sand.
10 - They Deride Kings And Scoff At Rulers. They Laugh At All Fortified Cities; They Build Earthen Ramps And Capture Them.
12 - O Lord , Are You Not From Everlasting? My God, My Holy One, We Will Not Die. O Lord , You Have Appointed Them To Execute Judgment; O Rock, You Have Ordained Them To Punish.
13 - Your Eyes Are Too Pure To Look On Evil; You Cannot Tolerate Wrong. Why Then Do You Tolerate The Treacherous? Why Are You Silent While The Wicked Swallow Up Those More Righteous Than Themselves?
15 - The Wicked Foe Pulls All Of Them Up With Hooks, He Catches Them In His Net, He Gathers Them Up In His Dragnet; And So He Rejoices And Is Glad.
16 - Therefore He Sacrifices To His Net And Burns Incense To His Dragnet, For By His Net He Lives In Luxury And Enjoys The Choicest Food.
