1:1
onus quod vidit Abacuc propheta

1:2
usquequo Domine clamabo et non exaudies vociferabor ad tevim patiens et non salvabis

1:3
quare ostendisti mihi iniquitatem et laborem videre praedaet iniustitia contra me et factum est iudicium et contradictiopotentior

1:4
propter hoc lacerata est lex et non pervenit usque ad finemiudicium quia impius praevalet adversus iustum proptereaegreditur iudicium perversum

1:5
aspicite in gentibus et videte et admiramini et obstupescitequia opus factum est in diebus vestris quod nemo credet cumnarrabitur

1:6
quia ecce ego suscitabo Chaldeos gentem amaram et velocemambulantem super latitudinem terrae ut possideat tabernaculanon sua

1:7
horribilis et terribilis est ex semet ipsa iudicium et onuseius egredietur

1:8
leviores pardis equi eius et velociores lupis vespertinis etdiffundentur equites eius equites namque eius de longe venientvolabunt quasi aquila festinans ad comedendum

1:9
omnes ad praedam venient facies eorum ventus urens etcongregabit quasi harenam captivitatem

1:10
et ipse de regibus triumphabit et tyranni ridiculi eiuserunt ipse super omnem munitionem ridebit et conportabitaggerem et capiet eam

1:11
tunc mutabitur spiritus et pertransibit et corruet haec estfortitudo eius dei sui

1:12
numquid non tu a principio Domine Deus meus Sancte meus etnon moriemur Domine in iudicium posuisti eum et fortem utcorriperes fundasti eum

1:13
mundi sunt oculi tui ne videas malum et respicere adiniquitatem non poteris quare non respicis super inique agenteset taces devorante impio iustiorem se

1:14
et facies homines quasi pisces maris et quasi reptile nonhabens principem

1:15
totum in hamo sublevavit traxit illud in sagena sua etcongregavit in rete suo super hoc laetabitur et exultabit

1:16
propterea immolabit sagenae suae et sacrificabit reti suoquia in ipsis incrassata est pars eius et cibus eius electus

1:17
propter hoc ergo expandit sagenam suam et semperinterficere gentes non parcet

001:001
The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.

001:002
O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!

001:003
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.

001:004
Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.

001:005
Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvelously: for I will work a work in your days which ye will not believe, though it be told you.

001:006
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 their's.

001:007
They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.

001:008
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.

001:009
They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.

001:010
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.

001:011
Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.

001:012
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.

001:013
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?

001:014
And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?

001:015
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.

001:016
Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous.

001:017
Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?
