Habakkuk 1

1 The oracle which he saw Habakkuk the prophet.

2 Until when? O Yahweh have I cried for help and not you will hear I cry out to you violence and not you save.

3 Why? do you make see me wickedness and mischief do you look at? and devastation and violence [are] to before me and it has been strife and contention it arises.

4 There-fore it grows numb [the] law and not it comes forth to perpetuity justice for [the] wicked [is] surrounding the righteous [person] there-fore it comes forth justice perverted.

5 See among the nations and look and be astounded be astonished for a deed [I am] about to do in days your [which] not you will believe if it will be recounted.

6 For here I [am] about to raise up the Chaldeans the nation bitter and impetuous which goes to [the] expanses of [the] earth to take possession of dwellings [which] not [belong] to it.

7 [is] terrifying And awesome it from itself justice its and dignity its it comes forth.

8 And they are swift more than leopards horses its and they are keen more than wolves of [the] evening and they paw [the] ground warhorses its and horsemen its from a distance they come they fly like an eagle making haste to devour.

9 All of it for violence it comes [the] totality of faces their [is] east-ward and it gathered like sand captive[s].

10 And it kings it derides and rulers [are] laughter to it it at every fortress it laughs and it heaped up earth and it captured it.

11 Then it swept on a wind and it passed on and he is guilty [the one] who strength his [becomes] god his.

12 ¿ Not [are] you from antiquity O Yahweh God my holy [one] my not we will die O Yahweh to judgment you have appointed it and O rock to reprove you have established it.

13 [you are too] pure of Eyes for seeing evil and to look to mischief not you are able why? do you look at treacherous [people] are you silent? when swallows up a wicked [person] a [person] righteous more than him.

14 And you have made humankind like [the] fish of the sea like creeping thing[s] [which] not a ruler [is] over it.

15 All of it with a fish hook he brings up he drags away it in net his and he gathers it in fishing net his there-fore he rejoices and he may be glad.

16 There-fore he sacrifices to net his so he may make smoke to fishing net his for by them [is] fat portion his and food his [is] fat.

17 ¿ There-fore will he empty net his and continually to kill nations not will he spare?
