Habakkuk 3:4–12

⁴And the brightness is as the light, He hath rays out of His hand, And there—the hiding of His strength. ⁵Before Him goeth pestilence, And a burning flame goeth forth at His feet. ⁶He hath stood, and He measureth earth, He hath seen, and He shaketh off nations, And scatter themselves do mountains of antiquity, Bowed have the hills of old, The ways of old are His. ⁷Under sorrow I have seen tents of Cushan, Tremble do curtains of the land of Midian. ⁸Against rivers hath Jehovah been wroth? Against rivers is Thine anger? Against the sea is Thy wrath? For Thou dost ride on Thy horses—Thy chariots of salvation? ⁹Utterly naked Thou dost make Thy bow, Sworn are the tribes—saying, ‘Pause!’ With rivers Thou dost cleave the earth. ¹⁰Seen thee—pained are mountains, An inundation of waters hath passed over, Given forth hath the deep its voice, High its hands it hath lifted up. ¹¹Sun—moon—hath stood—a habitation, At the light thine arrows go on, At the brightness, the glittering of thy spear. ¹²In indignation Thou dost tread earth, In anger Thou dost thresh nations.
