THE burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023673">2</a>. O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear!  even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023674">3</a>. Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance?  for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023675">4</a>. Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023676">5</a>. Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023677">6</a>. For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023678">7</a>. They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023679">8</a>. 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 far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023680">9</a>. They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023681">10</a>. And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023682">11</a>. Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023683">12</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023684">13</a>. Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023685">14</a>. And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023686">15</a>. They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023687">16</a>. Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023688">17</a>. Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?</li>
