Habakkuk 1:1-4

1:1 The Prophet Questions God's Judgments 

 

 

The burden which the prophet Habakkuk saw. 

 

2 The Prophet's Question 

 

 

O LORD, how long shall I cry,

And You will not hear?

Even cry out to You,"Violence!"

And You will not save. 

3 Why do You show me iniquity,

And cause me to see trouble?

For plundering and violence are before me;

There is strife, and contention arises. 

4 Therefore the law is powerless,

And justice never goes forth.

For the wicked surround the righteous;

Therefore perverse judgment proceeds. 

NKJV

 

 

Habakkuk 2:2-3

 

2 The Just Live by Faith 

 

 

Then the LORD answered me and said:

 

"Write the vision 

And make it plain on tablets,

That he may run who reads it. 

3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time;

But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.

Though it tarries, wait for it;

Because it will surely come,

It will not tarry. 

NKJV

 

Habakkuk 3:17-19

 

17 A Hymn of Faith 

 

Though the fig tree may not blossom,

Nor fruit be on the vines;

Though the labor of the olive may fail,

And the fields yield no food;

Though the flock may be cut off from the fold,

And there be no herd in the stalls —  

18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD,

I will joy in the God of my salvation. 

 

19 The LORD God is my strength;

He will make my feet like deer's feet,

And He will make me walk on my high hills.

 

To the Chief Musician. With my stringed instruments.

NKJV
