1	先知哈巴谷所得的默示。
			The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see# .
		2	他說：耶和華啊！我呼求你，你不應允，要到幾時呢？我因強暴,哀求你，你還不拯救!
			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	你為何使我看見罪孽？你為何看著奸惡而不理呢？毀滅和強暴在我面前，又起了爭端和相鬥的事。
			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	因此律法放鬆，公理也不顯明，惡人圍困義人，所以公理顯然顛倒。
			Therefore the law is slacked# , and judgment doth never go forth# : for the wicked doth compass# about the righteous; therefore wrong# judgment proceedeth# . [wrong: or, wrested]
		5	耶和華說：你們要向列國中觀看，大大驚奇；因為在你們的時候，我行一件事，雖有人告訴你們，你們總是不信。
			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	我必興起迦勒底人，就是那殘忍暴躁之民，通行遍地，佔據那不屬自己的住處。
			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. [breadth: Heb. breadths]
		7	他威武可畏，判斷和勢力都任意發出。
			They are terrible and dreadful# : their judgment and their dignity shall proceed# of themselves. [their judgment...: or, from them shall proceed the judgment of these, and the captivity of these]
		8	他的馬比豹更快，比晚上的豺狼更猛。馬兵踴躍爭先，都從遠方而來；他們飛跑如鷹抓食，
			Their horses also are swifter# than the leopards, and are more fierce# than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread# themselves, and their horsemen shall come# from far; they shall fly# as the eagle that hasteth# to eat# . [fierce: Heb. sharp]
		9	都為行強暴而來，定住臉面向前，將擄掠的人聚集，多如塵沙。
			They shall come# all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather# the captivity as the sand. [their...: or, the supping up of their faces, etc: or, their faces shall look (Heb. the opposition of their faces) toward the east]
		10	他們譏誚君王，笑話首領，嗤笑一切保障，築壘攻取。
			And they shall scoff# at the kings, and the princes# shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride# every strong hold; for they shall heap# dust, and take# it.
		11	他以自己的勢力為神，像風猛然掃過，顯為有罪。
			Then shall his mind change# , and he shall pass over# , and offend# , imputing this his power unto his god.
		12	耶和華─我的神，我的聖者啊，你不是從亙古而有嗎？我們必不致死。耶和華啊，你派定他為要刑罰人；磐石啊，你設立他為要懲治人。
			Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die# . O LORD, thou hast ordained# them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established# them for correction# . [mighty...: Heb. rock] [established: Heb. founded]
		13	你眼目清潔，不看邪僻，不看奸惡；行詭詐的，你為何看著不理呢？惡人吞滅比自己公義的，你為何靜默不語呢？
			Thou art of purer eyes than to behold# evil, and canst# not look# on iniquity: wherefore lookest# thou upon them that deal treacherously# , and holdest thy tongue# when the wicked devoureth# the man that is more righteous than he? [iniquity: or, grievance]
		14	你為何使人如海中的魚，又如沒有管轄的爬物呢？
			And makest# men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler# over them? [creeping: or, moving]
		15	他用鉤鉤住，用網捕獲，用拉網聚集他們；因此，他歡喜快樂，
			They take up# all of them with the angle, they catch# them in their net, and gather# them in their drag: therefore they rejoice# and are glad# . [drag: or, flue net]
		16	就向網獻祭，向網燒香，因他由此得肥美的分和富裕的食物。
			Therefore they sacrifice# unto their net, and burn incense# unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous. [plenteous: or, dainty: Heb. fat]
		17	他豈可屢次倒空網羅，將列國的人時常殺戮，毫不顧惜呢？
			Shall they therefore empty# their net, and not spare# continually to slay# the nations?
