Habakkuk 3:14–15

14 With his own spear you pierced his head

when his warriors stormed out to scatter us,

gloating as though about to devour

the wretched who were in hiding.

15 You trampled the sea with your horses,

churning the great waters.

14 Thou didst strike through with his staves the head of his villages:

They came out as a whirlwind to scatter me:

Their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.

15 Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses,

Through the heap of great waters.

14 With his own weapons,

you destroyed the chief of those

who rushed out like a whirlwind,

thinking Israel would be easy prey.

15 You trampled the sea with your horses,

and the mighty waters piled high.

14 You thrust through with his own arrows

The head of his villages.

They came out like a whirlwind to scatter me;

Their rejoicing was like feasting on the poor in secret.

15 You walked through the sea with Your horses,

Through the heap of great waters.

14 With the enemy’s own spear you stabbed the leader of his army.

His soldiers rushed out like a storm to scatter us.

They were happy

as they were robbing the poor people in secret.

15 But you marched through the sea with your horses,

stirring the great waters.

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.

15 Thou didst tread the sea with thy horses,

The heap of mighty waters.

14 Thou didst strike through with his own spears the head of his leaders: They came out as a whirlwind to scatter me, Whose exulting was as to devour the afflicted secretly. 15 Thou didst walk through the sea with thy horses, The heap of great waters.

14 You pierce the leader of his gang with his own arrows. 

His soldiers come like a violent storm to scatter me. 

They are arrogant like those who secretly eat up the poor. 

15 You march with your horses into the sea, 

into the mighty raging waters. 

14 You pierce his head

with his own spears;

his warriors storm out to scatter us,

gloating as if ready to secretly devour the weak.

15 You tread the sea with Your horses,

stirring up the great waters.

14 You pierced with their own arrows the head of his warriors,

who came like a whirlwind to scatter us,

gloating as if ready to devour the poor who were in hiding.

15 You trampled the sea with your horses,

churning the mighty waters.

14 You pierced the head of his warriors with his own arrows;

they came like a whirlwind to scatter me,

their exultation like one who devours the afflicted in ambush.

15 You trampled upon the sea with your horses,

the churning of many waters.

14 His soldiers rushed out to scatter us.

They were laughing at us.

They thought they would easily destroy us.

They saw us as weak people who were trying to hide.

So you wounded Pharaoh’s head with his own spear.

15 Your horses charged into the Red Sea.

They stirred up the great waters.

14 You pierced with his own spears

The head of his throngs.

They stormed in to scatter us;

Their exultation was like those

Who devour the oppressed in secret.

15 You trampled on the sea with Your horses,

On the surge of many waters.
