Habakkuk 1:2-6
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
2
How long,
Lord
, have I called for help,
And You do not hear?
I cry out to You, 'Violence!'
Yet You do not save.
3
Why do You make me see disaster,
And make
me
look at destitution?
Yes, devastation and violence are before me;
Strife exists and contention arises.
4
Therefore the Law is ignored,
And justice is never upheld.
For the wicked surround the righteous;
Therefore justice comes out confused.
5
'Look among the nations! Watch!
Be horrified! Be frightened speechless!
For
I am
accomplishing a work in your days—
You would not believe
it even
if you were told!
6
For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans,
That grim and impetuous people
Who march throughout the earth,
To take possession of dwelling places that are not theirs.
King James Version
Chapter 1
2
O
Lord
, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!
3
Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.
4
Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.
5
Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
6
For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 1
2
How long,
Lord
, must I call for help
and you do not listen
or cry out to you about violence
and you do not save?
3
Why do you force me to look at injustice?
Why do you tolerate wrongdoing?
Oppression and violence are right in front of me.
Strife is ongoing, and conflict escalates.
4
This is why the law is ineffective
and justice never emerges.
For the wicked restrict the righteous;
therefore, justice comes out perverted.
5
Look at the nations and observe —
be utterly astounded!
For I am doing something in your days
that you will not believe
when you hear about it.
6
Look! I am raising up the Chaldeans,
that bitter, impetuous nation
that marches across the earth’s open spaces
to seize territories not its own.
New Living Translation
Chapter 1
2
How long, O
Lord
, must I call for help?
But you do not listen!
'Violence is everywhere!' I cry,
but you do not come to save.
3
Must I forever see these evil deeds?
Why must I watch all this misery?
Wherever I look,
I see destruction and violence.
I am surrounded by people
who love to argue and fight.
4
The law has become paralyzed,
and there is no justice in the courts.
The wicked far outnumber the righteous,
so that justice has become perverted.
5
The
Lord
replied,
'Look around at the nations;
look and be amazed!
For I am doing something in your own day,
something you wouldn’t believe
even if someone told you about it.
6
I am raising up the Babylonians,
a cruel and violent people.
They will march across the world
and conquer other lands.
English Standard Version
Chapter 1
2
O
Lord
, how long shall I cry for help,
and you will not hear?
Or cry to you "Violence!"
and you will not save?
3
Why do you make me see iniquity,
and why do you idly look at wrong?
Destruction and violence are before me;
strife and contention arise.
4
So the law is paralyzed,
and justice never goes forth.
For the wicked surround the righteous;
so justice goes forth perverted.
5
"Look among the nations, and see;
wonder and be astounded.
For I am doing a work in your days
that you would not believe if told.
6
For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans,
that bitter and hasty nation,
who march through the breadth of the earth,
to seize dwellings not their own.
New International Version
Chapter 1
2
How long,
Lord
, must I call for help,
but you do not listen?
Or cry out to you, "Violence!"
but you do not save?
3
Why do you make me look at injustice?
Why do you tolerate wrongdoing?
Destruction and violence are before me;
there is strife, and conflict abounds.
4
Therefore the law is paralyzed,
and justice never prevails.
The wicked hem in the righteous,
so that justice is perverted.
5
"Look at the nations and watch—
and be utterly amazed.
For I am going to do something in your days
that you would not believe,
even if you were told.
6
I am raising up the Babylonians,
that ruthless and impetuous people,
who sweep across the whole earth
to seize dwellings not their own.
New King James Version
Chapter 1
2
O
Lord
, how long shall I cry,
And You will not hear?
Even cry out to You, “Violence!”
And You will not save.
3
Why do You show me iniquity,
And cause
me
to see trouble?
For plundering and violence
are
before me;
There is strife, and contention arises.
4
Therefore the law is powerless,
And justice never goes forth.
For the wicked surround the righteous;
Therefore perverse judgment proceeds.
5
“Look among the nations and watch—
Be utterly astounded!
For
I will
work a work in your days
Which
you would not believe, though it were told
you.
6
For indeed I am raising up the Chaldeans,
A bitter and hasty nation
Which marches through the breadth of the earth,
To possess dwelling places
that are
not theirs.
