Chap. I.
note
The prophet lamenteth the imminent ruine of the people, by the insolent
crueltie of the Chaldees: 12. especially for that the holie citie shal be ransacked
by idolaters, and most wicked men.
1 The note burden that Habacuc the prophete saw.
2 How long ô Lord shal I crie, and thou wilt not
heare? shal I crie out to thee suffering violence,
and thou wilt not saue?
3 Why hast thou shewed
me iniquitie and labour, to see praye and iniustice against me?
and iudgement is made, & contradiction more mightie.
4 For
this cause is the law torne, & iudgement came not to the end:
because the impious preuaileth agaynst the iust, therfore doth
there come forth peruerse iudgement.
5 Behold ye in the nations,
and see: meruel, and be astonied: because note a worke
is done in your dayes, which no man wil beleue when it shal
be told.
6 Because loe I note wil rayse vp the Chaldees, a bitter &
swift nation, walking vpon the latitude of the earth, to possesse
tabernacles not their owne.
7 It is horrible, and terrible:
out of it self shal the iudgement, and the burden therof procede.
8 His horses lighter then leopards, and swifter then euening
wolues; and his horsemen shal be spred abrode, for his
horsemen shal come from a far, they shal flie as an eagle hastening
to eate.
9 Al shal come to the praye, their faces a burning
-- --
winde: & he shal gather together as the sand, captiuitie.
10 And he shal triumph ouer kinges, & tyrants shal be his laughing
flocke, and he shal laugh vpon euerie munition, and shal
cast vp a mount, and shal take it.
11 noteThen shal the spirit be
changed, and he shal passe, & fal: this is his strength of his God.
12 Why wast thou not from the beginning ô Lord my God, my
holie one, & we shal not dye? Lord thou hast appoynted him
for iudgement: and strong to chastise, thou hast founded him.
13 Thine eyes are cleane, from seing euil, & thou canst not looke
toward iniquitie. Why lookest thou not vpon them that doe
vniust thinges, & holdest thy peace when the impious deuoureth
him that is more iust then him self?
14 And thou wilt make
men as the fishes of the sea, & as the creeping beast not hauing
a prince.
15 noteHe lifted vp al in the hooke, he drew it in his traine,
and gathered it into his nette: vpon this he wil be glad and reioyce.
16 Therfore wil he immolate to his trayne, and he wil
sacrifice do his nette: because by them his portion is fatte, and
his meate chosen.
17 For this cause therfore spreddeth he his
trayne, and alwayes to kil note the nations he wil not spare.
