Habakkuk - Chapter: 2


2:1	On my charge I stand, and I station myself on a bulwark, and I watch to see what He doth speak against me, and what I do reply to my reproof.
2:2	And Jehovah answereth me and saith: `Write a vision, and explain on the tables, That he may run who is reading it.
2:3	For yet the vision `is' for a season, And it breatheth for the end, and doth not lie, If it tarry, wait for it, For surely it cometh, it is not late.
2:4	Lo, a presumptuous one! Not upright is his soul within him, And the righteous by his stedfastness liveth.
2:5	And also, because the wine `is' treacherous, A man is haughty, and remaineth not at home, Who hath enlarged as sheol his soul, And is as death that is not satisfied, And doth gather unto itself all the nations, And doth assemble unto itself all the peoples,
2:6	Do not these -- all of them -- against him a simile taken up, And a moral of acute sayings for him, And say, Wo `to' him who is multiplying `what is' not his? Till when also is he multiplying to himself heavy pledges?
2:7	Do not thy usurers instantly rise up, And those shaking thee awake up, And thou hast been for a spoil to them?
2:8	Because thou hast spoiled many nations, Spoil thee do all the remnant of the peoples, Because of man's blood, and of violence `to' the land, `To' the city, and `to' all dwelling in it.
2:9	Wo `to' him who is gaining evil gain for his house, To set on high his nest, To be delivered from the hand of evil,
2:10	Thou hast counselled a shameful thing to thy house, To cut off many peoples, and sinful `is' thy soul.
2:11	For a stone from the wall doth cry out, And a holdfast from the wood answereth it.
2:12	Wo `to' him who is building a city by blood, And establishing a city by iniquity.
2:13	Lo, is it not from Jehovah of Hosts And peoples are fatigued for fire, And nations for vanity are weary?
2:14	For full is the earth of the knowledge of the honour of Jehovah, As waters cover `the bottom of' a sea.
2:15	Wo `to' him who is giving drink to his neighbour, Pouring out thy bottle, and also making drunk, In order to look on their nakedness.
2:16	Thou hast been filled -- shame without honour, Drink thou also, and be uncircumcised, Turn round unto thee doth the cup of the right hand of Jehovah, And shameful spewing `is' on thine honour.
2:17	For violence `to' Lebanon doth cover thee, And spoil of beasts doth affright them, Because of man's blood, and of violence `to' the land, `To' the city, and `to' all dwelling in it.
2:18	What profit hath a graven image given That its former hath graven it? A molten image and teacher of falsehood, That trusted hath the former on his own formation -- to make dumb idols?
2:19	Wo `to' him who is saying to wood, `Awake,' `Stir up,' to a dumb stone, It a teacher! lo, it is overlaid -- gold and silver, And there is no spirit in its midst.
2:20	And Jehovah `is' in His holy temple, Be silent before Him, all the earth!

2:1	I stode vpon my watch, and set me vpon my bulworke, to loke & se what he wolde saye vnto me, and what answere I shulde geue him yt reproueth me.
2:2	But the LORDE answered me, and sayde: Wryte the vision planely vpon thy tables, that who so commeth by, maye rede it:
2:3	for ye visio is yet farre of for a tyme, but at ye last it shal come to passe, & not fayle. And though he tary, yet wait thou for him, for in very dede he wil come, and not be slacke.
2:4	Beholde, who so wil not beleue, his soule shal not prospere: but the iust shal lyue by his faith.
2:5	Like as the wyne disceaueth the dronckarde, euen so the proude shal fayle & not endure. He openeth his desyre wyde vp as the hell, & is as vnsaciable as death. All Heithen gathereth he to him, & heapeth vnto him all people.
2:6	But shall not all these take vp a prouerbe agaynst him, and mocke him with a byworde, and saye: Wo vnto him that heapeth vp other mens goodes? How longe wil he lade himself with thicke claye?
2:7	O how sodenly wil they stonde vp, yt shal byte the, & awake, that shal teare ye in peces? yee thou shalt be their pray.
2:8	Seinge thou hast spoyled many Heithen, therfore shall the remnaunt of the people spoyle the: because of mens bloude, & for the wronge done in the londe, in the cite & vnto all them that dwel therin.
2:9	Wo vnto him, that couetously gathereth euell gotten goodes in to his house: that he maye set his nest an hye, to escape from the power of mysfortune.
2:10	Thou hast deuysed ye shame of thine owne house, for thou hast slayne to moch people, and hast wilfully offended:
2:11	so that the very stones of the wall shal crie out of it, and the tymbre that lieth betwixte the ioyntes of the buyldinge shall answere.
2:12	Wo vnto him, yt buyldeth the towne with bloude, and maynteneth ye cite with vnrightuousnes.
2:13	Shal not the LORDE of hoostes bringe this to passe, that the laboures of the people shal be brent with a greate fyre, and that the thinge wher vpon the people haue weeried them selues, shall be lost?
2:14	For the earth shalbe full of knowlege of the LORDES honoure, like as the waters that couer the see.
2:15	Wo vnto him that geueth his neghboure dryncke, to get him wrothfull displeasure for his dronckennesse: that he maye se his preuytees.
2:16	Therfore with shame shalt thou be fylled, in steade of honoure. Dryncke thou also, till thou slombre withall: for the cuppe of the LORDES right hode shall compasse the aboute, and shamefull spewinge in steade of thy worshipe.
2:17	For the wroge that thou hast done in Libanus, shal ouerwhelme the, and the wilde beastes shal make the afrayed: because of mens bloude, and for the wronge done in the londe, in the cite, and vnto all soch as dwel therin.
2:18	What helpe than wil ye ymage do, whom the workman hath fashioned? Or the vayne cast ymage, wherin because the craftesman putteth his trust, therfore maketh he domme Idols?
2:19	Wo vnto him, that saieth to a pece of wod: arise, and to a domme stone: stonde vp. For what instruccio maye soch one geue? Beholde, it is layed ouer with golde and syluer, & there is no breth in it.
2:20	But the LORDE in his holy teple is he, whom all the worlde shulde feare.
