The Scriptures 1998

Habakkuk 3:4-15 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

4. And the brightness is as the light, He has rays from His hand, And there His power is hidden.

5. Before Him goes pestilence, And a burning flame goes forth at His feet.

6. He shall stand and measure the earth. He shall look and shake the nations. And the ancient mountains are shattered, The age-old hills shall bow. His ways are everlasting.

7. I saw the tents of Kushan under sorrow, The curtains of the land of Miḏyan tremble.

8. Shall יהוה burn against the rivers? Is Your displeasure against the rivers, Is Your wrath against the sea, That You ride on Your horses, Your chariots of deliverance?

9. You uncover Your bow, The oaths of the rod of the Word. Selah. You cut through the earth with rivers.

10. The mountains shall see You, they tremble. The storm of water shall pass over. The deep shall give forth its voice, It shall lift up its hands.

11. Sun, moon shall stand still in their places. Like light Your arrows fly, Like lightning is Your glittering spear.

12. You step through the earth in rage, You thresh the gentiles in wrath.

13. You shall go forth to save Your people, To save Your Anointed. You shall smite the Head from the house of the wrong, By laying bare from foundation to neck. Selah.

14. You shall pierce with his own arrows The head of his leaders. They stormed along to scatter me, Rejoicing as if to devour the poor in secret.

15. You shall tread the sea with Your horses, The foaming of many waters.
