3:1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, set to Shigionoth.

3:2 O Jehovah, I have heard the report of thee, and am afraid: O Jehovah, revive thy work in the midst of the years; In the midst of the years make it known; In wrath remember mercy.

3:3 God came from Teman, And the Holy One from mount Paran. [Selah. His glory covered the heavens, And the earth was full of his praise.

3:4 And his brightness was as the light; He had rays coming forth from his hand; And there was the hiding of his power.

3:5 Before him went the pestilence, And fiery bolts went forth at his feet.

3:6 He stood, and measured the earth; He beheld, and drove asunder the nations; And the eternal mountains were scattered; The everlasting hills did bow; His goings were as of old.

3:7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction; The curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.

3:8 Was Jehovah displeased with the rivers? Was thine anger against the rivers, Or thy wrath against the sea, That thou didst ride upon thy horses, Upon thy chariots of salvation?

3:9 Thy bow was made quite bare; The oaths to the tribes were a sure word. [Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.

3:10 The mountains saw thee, and were afraid; The tempest of waters passed by; The deep uttered its voice, And lifted up its hands on high.

3:11 The sun and moon stood still in their habitation, At the light of thine arrows as they went, At the shining of thy glittering spear.

3:12 Thou didst march through the land in indignation; Thou didst thresh the nations in anger.

3:13 Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, For the salvation of thine anointed; Thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked man, Laying bare the foundation even unto the neck. [Selah.

3:14 Thou didst pierce with his own staves the head of his warriors: They came as a whirlwind to scatter me; Their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.

3:15 Thou didst tread the sea with thy horses, The heap of mighty waters.

3:16 I heard, and my body trembled, My lips quivered at the voice; Rottenness entereth into my bones, and I tremble in my place; Because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, For the coming up of the people that invadeth us.

3:17 For though the fig-tree shall not flourish, Neither shall fruit be in the vines; The labor of the olive shall fail, And the fields shall yield no food; The flock shall be cut off from the fold, And there shall be no herd in the stalls:

3:18 Yet I will rejoice in Jehovah, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

3:19 Jehovah, the Lord, is my strength; And he maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, And will make me to walk upon my high places.

24:1 Be not thou envious against evil men; Neither desire to be with them:

24:2 For their heart studieth oppression, And their lips talk of mischief.

24:3 Through wisdom is a house builded; And by understanding it is established;

24:4 And by knowledge are the chambers filled With all precious and pleasant riches.

24:5 A wise man is strong; Yea, a man of knowledge increaseth might.

24:6 For by wise guidance thou shalt make thy war; And in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.

24:7 Wisdom is too high for a fool: He openeth not his mouth in the gate.

24:8 He that deviseth to do evil, Men shall call him a mischief-maker.

24:9 The thought of foolishness is sin; And the scoffer is an abomination to men.

24:10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, Thy strength is small.

24:11 Deliver them that are carried away unto death, And those that are ready to be slain see that thou hold back.

24:12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew not this; Doth not he that weigheth the hearts consider it? And he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? And shall not he render to every man according to his work?

24:13 My son, eat thou honey, for it is good; And the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to thy taste:

24:14 So shalt thou know wisdom to be unto thy soul; If thou hast found it, then shall there be a reward, And thy hope shall not be cut off.

24:15 Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous; Destroy not his resting-place:

24:16 For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again; But the wicked are overthrown by calamity.

13:1 and he stood upon the sand of the sea.And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names of blasphemy.

13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his throne, and great authority.

13:3 And I saw one of his heads as though it had been smitten unto death; and his death-stroke was healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast;

13:4 and they worshipped the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? and who is able to war with him?

13:5 and there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty and two months.

13:6 And he opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, even them that dwell in the heaven.

13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.

13:8 And all that dwell on the earth shall worship him, every one whose name hath not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that hath been slain.

13:9 If any man hath an ear, let him hear.

13:10 If any man is for captivity, into captivity he goeth: if any man shall kill with the sword, with the sword must he be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
