HABAKKUK
[III
- That the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?
- Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach!
- Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver,
- And there is no breath at all in the midst of it.
- But the Lord is in his holy temple:
- Let all the earth keep silence before him.
A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.
- O Lord, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid:
- O Lord, revive thy work in the midst of the years,
- In the midst of the years make known;
- In wrath remember mercy.
- God came from Teman,
- And the Holy One from mount Paran.Selah.
- His glory covered the heavens,
- And the earth was full of his praise.
- And his brightness was as the light;
- He had horns coming out of his hand:
- And there was the hiding of his power.
- Before him went the pestilence,
- And burning coals went forth at his feet.
- He stood, and measured the earth:
- He beheld, and drove asunder the nations;
- And the everlasting mountains were scattered,
- The perpetual hills did bow:
