The Latter Days - Habakkuk Chapter 2

Hab 2:1 I will stand [05975] (8799) upon my watch [04931], and set [03320] (8691) me upon the tower [04692], and will watch [06822] (8762) to see [07200] (8800) what he will say [01696] (8762) unto me, and what I shall answer [07725] (8686) when I am reproved [08433]. Hab 2:2 And the LORD [03068] answered [06030] (8799) me, and said [0559] (8799), Write [03789] (8798) the vision [02377], and make [it] plain [0874] (8761) upon tables [03871], that he may run [07323] (8799) that readeth [07121] (8802) it. Hab 2:3 For the vision [02377] is yet for an appointed time [04150], but at the end [07093] it shall speak [06315] (8686), and not lie [03576] (8762): though it tarry [04102] (8698), wait [02442] (8761) for it; because it will surely [0935] (8800) come [0935] (8799), it will not tarry [0309] (8762). Hab 2:4 Behold, his soul [05315] [which] is lifted up [06075] (8795) is not upright [03474] (8804) in him: but the just [06662] shall live [02421] (8799) by his faith [0530]. Hab 2:5 Yea also, because he transgresseth [0898] (8802) by wine [03196], [he is] a proud [03093] man [01397], neither keepeth at home [05115] (8799), who enlargeth [07337] (8689) his desire [05315] as hell [07585], and is as death [04194], and cannot be satisfied [07646] (8799), but gathereth [0622] (8799) unto him all nations [01471], and heapeth [06908] (8799) unto him all people [05971]: Hab 2:6 Shall not all these take up [05375] (8799) a parable [04912] against him, and a taunting [04426] proverb [02420] against him, and say [0559] (8799), Woe [01945] to him that increaseth [07235] (8688) [that which is] not his! how long? and to him that ladeth [03513] (8688) himself with thick clay [05671]! Hab 2:7 Shall they not rise up [06965] (8799) suddenly [06621] that shall bite [05391] (8802) thee, and awake [03364] (8799) that shall vex [02111] (8772) thee, and thou shalt be for booties [04933] unto them? Hab 2:8 Because thou hast spoiled [07997] (8804) many [07227] nations [01471], all the remnant [03499] of the people [05971] shall spoil [07997] (8799) thee; because of men's [0120] blood [01818], and [for] the violence [02555] of the land [0776], of the city [07151], and of all that dwell [03427] (8802) therein. Hab 2:9 Woe [01945] to him that coveteth [01214] (8802) an evil [07451] covetousness [01215] to his house [01004], that he may set [07760] (8800) his nest [07064] on high [04791], that he may be delivered [05337] (8736) from the power [03709] of evil [07451]! Hab 2:10 Thou hast consulted [03289] (8804) shame [01322] to thy house [01004] by cutting off [07096] (8800) many [07227] people [05971], and hast sinned [02398] (8802) [against] thy soul [05315]. Hab 2:11 For the stone [068] shall cry out [02199] (8799) of the wall [07023], and the beam out [03714] of the timber [06086] shall answer [06030] (8799) it. Hab 2:12 Woe [01945] to him that buildeth [01129] (8802) a town [05892] with blood [01818], and stablisheth [03559] (8790) a city [07151] by iniquity [05766]! Hab 2:13 Behold, [is it] not of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] that the people [05971] shall labour [03021] (8799) in the very [01767] fire [0784], and the people [03816] shall weary [03286] (8799) themselves for very [01767] vanity [07385]? Hab 2:14 For the earth [0776] shall be filled [04390] (8735) with the knowledge [03045] (8800) of the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068], as the waters [04325] cover [03680] (8762) the sea [03220]. Hab 2:15 Woe [01945] unto him that giveth his neighbour [07453] drink [08248] (8688), that puttest [05596] (8764) thy bottle [02573] to [him], and makest [him] drunken [07937] (8763) also, that thou mayest look [05027] (8687) on their nakedness [04589]! Hab 2:16 Thou art filled [07646] (8804) with shame [07036] for glory [03519]: drink [08354] (8798) thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered [06188] (8734): the cup [03563] of the LORD'S [03068] right hand [03225] shall be turned [05437] (8735) unto thee, and shameful spewing [07022] shall be on thy glory [03519]. Hab 2:17 For the violence [02555] of Lebanon [03844] shall cover [03680] (8762) thee, and the spoil [07701] of beasts [0929], [which] made them afraid [02865] (8686), because of men's [0120] blood [01818], and for the violence [02555] of the land [0776], of the city [07151], and of all that dwell [03427] (8802) therein. Hab 2:18 What profiteth [03276] (8689) the graven image [06459] that the maker [03335] (8802) thereof hath graven [06458] (8804) it; the molten image [04541], and a teacher [03384] (8688) of lies [08267], that the maker [03335] (8802) of his work [03336] trusteth [0982] (8804) therein, to make [06213] (8800) dumb [0483] idols [0457]? Hab 2:19 Woe [01945] unto him that saith [0559] (8802) to the wood [06086], Awake [06974] (8685); to the dumb [01748] stone [068], Arise [05782] (8798), it shall teach [03384] (8686)! Behold, it is laid [08610] (8803) over with gold [02091] and silver [03701], and there is no breath [07307] at all in the midst [07130] of it. Hab 2:20 But the LORD [03068] is in his holy [06944] temple [01964]: let all the earth [0776] keep silence [02013]
