Habakkuk 1:7-17

TMBA

NIV

7 They are terrible and dreadful; their judgment and their dignity shall proceed from themselves.
7 They are a feared and dreaded people; they are a law to themselves and promote their own honor.
8 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves. And their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from afar; they shall fly as the vulture that hasteneth to eat.
8 Their horses are swifter than leopards, fiercer than wolves at dusk. Their cavalry gallops headlong; their horsemen come from afar. They fly like an eagle swooping to devour;
9 They shall come all for violence; their faces shall consume as the east wind, and they shall gather the captives as the sand.
9 they all come intent on violence. Their hordes advance like a desert wind and gather prisoners like sand.
10 And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them. They shall deride every stronghold, for they shall heap up dirt and take it.
10 They mock kings and scoff at rulers. They laugh at all fortified cities; by building earthen ramps they capture them.
11 Then shall his mind change; and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god."
11 Then they sweep past like the wind and go on— guilty people, whose own strength is their god.”
12 Art Thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? We shall not die. O LORD, Thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, Thou hast established them for correction.
12 LORD, are you not from everlasting? My God, my Holy One, you will never die. You, LORD, have appointed them to execute judgment; you, my Rock, have ordained them to punish.
13 Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity. Why lookest Thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest Thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?
13 Your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot tolerate wrongdoing. Why then do you tolerate the treacherous? Why are you silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves?
14 And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things that have no ruler over them?
14 You have made people like the fish in the sea, like the sea creatures that have no ruler.
15 They take up all of them with the hook; they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag; therefore they rejoice and are glad.
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 they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag, because by them their portion is fat and their meat plenteous.
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.
17 Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?
17 Is he to keep on emptying his net, destroying nations without mercy?
