Habakkuk 1 - Zephaniah 3
New International Version
Habakkuk 1 - Zephaniah 3
New International Version
1 The prophecy(A) that Habakkuk the prophet received.
Habakkuk’s Complaint
2 How long,(B) Lord, must I call for help,
but you do not listen?(C)
Or cry out to you, “Violence!”
but you do not save?(D)
3 Why do you make me look at injustice?
Why do you tolerate(E) wrongdoing?(F)
Destruction and violence(G) are before me;
there is strife,(H) and conflict abounds.
4 Therefore the law(I) is paralyzed,
and justice never prevails.
The wicked hem in the righteous,
so that justice(J) is perverted.(K)
The Lord’s Answer
5 “Look at the nations and watch—
and be utterly amazed.(L)
For I am going to do something in your days
that you would not believe,
even if you were told.(M)
6 I am raising up the Babylonians,[a](N)
that ruthless and impetuous people,
who sweep across the whole earth(O)
to seize dwellings not their own.(P)
7 They are a feared and dreaded people;(Q)
they are a law to themselves
and promote their own honor.
8 Their horses are swifter(R) than leopards,
fiercer than wolves(S) at dusk.
Their cavalry gallops headlong;
their horsemen come from afar.
They fly like an eagle swooping to devour;
9 they all come intent on violence.
Their hordes[b] advance like a desert wind
and gather prisoners(T) like sand.
10 They mock kings
and scoff at rulers.(U)
They laugh at all fortified cities;
by building earthen ramps(V) they capture them.
11 Then they sweep past like the wind(W) and go on—
guilty people, whose own strength is their god.”(X)
Habakkuk’s Second Complaint
12 Lord, are you not from everlasting?(Y)
My God, my Holy One,(Z) you[c] will never die.(AA)
You, Lord, have appointed(AB) them to execute judgment;
you, my Rock,(AC) have ordained them to punish.
13 Your eyes are too pure(AD) to look on evil;
you cannot tolerate wrongdoing.(AE)
Why then do you tolerate(AF) the treacherous?(AG)
Why are you silent while the wicked
swallow up those more righteous than themselves?(AH)
14 You have made people like the fish in the sea,
like the sea creatures that have no ruler.
15 The wicked(AI) foe pulls all of them up with hooks,(AJ)
he catches them in his net,(AK)
he gathers them up in his dragnet;
and so he rejoices and is glad.
16 Therefore he sacrifices to his net
and burns incense(AL) to his dragnet,
for by his net he lives in luxury
and enjoys the choicest food.
17 Is he to keep on emptying his net,
destroying nations without mercy?(AM)
2 I will stand at my watch(AN)
and station myself on the ramparts;(AO)
I will look to see what he will say(AP) to me,
and what answer I am to give to this complaint.[d](AQ)
The Lord’s Answer
2 Then the Lord replied:
“Write(AR) down the revelation
and make it plain on tablets
so that a herald[e] may run with it.
3 For the revelation awaits an appointed time;(AS)
it speaks of the end(AT)
and will not prove false.
Though it linger, wait(AU) for it;
it[f] will certainly come
and will not delay.(AV)
4 “See, the enemy is puffed up;
his desires are not upright—
but the righteous person(AW) will live by his faithfulness[g](AX)—
5 indeed, wine(AY) betrays him;
he is arrogant(AZ) and never at rest.
Because he is as greedy as the grave
and like death is never satisfied,(BA)
he gathers to himself all the nations
and takes captive(BB) all the peoples.
6 “Will not all of them taunt(BC) him with ridicule and scorn, saying,
“‘Woe to him who piles up stolen goods
and makes himself wealthy by extortion!(BD)
How long must this go on?’
7 Will not your creditors suddenly arise?
Will they not wake up and make you tremble?
Then you will become their prey.(BE)
8 Because you have plundered many nations,
the peoples who are left will plunder you.(BF)
For you have shed human blood;(BG)
you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.(BH)
9 “Woe to him who builds(BI) his house by unjust gain,(BJ)
setting his nest(BK) on high
to escape the clutches of ruin!
10 You have plotted the ruin(BL) of many peoples,
shaming(BM) your own house and forfeiting your life.
11 The stones(BN) of the wall will cry out,
and the beams of the woodwork will echo it.
12 “Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed(BO)
and establishes a town by injustice!
13 Has not the Lord Almighty determined
that the people’s labor is only fuel for the fire,(BP)
that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing?(BQ)
14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory(BR) of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.(BS)
15 “Woe to him who gives drink(BT) to his neighbors,
pouring it from the wineskin till they are drunk,
so that he can gaze on their naked bodies!
16 You will be filled with shame(BU) instead of glory.(BV)
Now it is your turn! Drink(BW) and let your nakedness be exposed[h]!(BX)
The cup(BY) from the Lord’s right hand is coming around to you,
and disgrace will cover your glory.
17 The violence(BZ) you have done to Lebanon will overwhelm you,
and your destruction of animals will terrify you.(CA)
For you have shed human blood;(CB)
you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.
18 “Of what value(CC) is an idol(CD) carved by a craftsman?
Or an image(CE) that teaches lies?
For the one who makes it trusts in his own creation;
he makes idols that cannot speak.(CF)
19 Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Come to life!’
Or to lifeless stone, ‘Wake up!’(CG)
Can it give guidance?
It is covered with gold and silver;(CH)
there is no breath in it.”(CI)
Habakkuk’s Prayer
3 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet. On shigionoth.[i](CL)
2 Lord, I have heard(CM) of your fame;
I stand in awe(CN) of your deeds, Lord.(CO)
Repeat(CP) them in our day,
in our time make them known;
in wrath remember mercy.(CQ)
3 God came from Teman,(CR)
the Holy One(CS) from Mount Paran.[j](CT)
His glory covered the heavens(CU)
and his praise filled the earth.(CV)
4 His splendor was like the sunrise;(CW)
rays flashed from his hand,
where his power(CX) was hidden.
5 Plague(CY) went before him;
pestilence followed his steps.
6 He stood, and shook the earth;
he looked, and made the nations tremble.
The ancient mountains crumbled(CZ)
and the age-old hills(DA) collapsed(DB)—
but he marches on forever.(DC)
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in distress,
the dwellings of Midian(DD) in anguish.(DE)
8 Were you angry with the rivers,(DF) Lord?
Was your wrath against the streams?
Did you rage against the sea(DG)
when you rode your horses
and your chariots to victory?(DH)
9 You uncovered your bow,
you called for many arrows.(DI)
You split the earth with rivers;
10 the mountains saw you and writhed.(DJ)
Torrents of water swept by;
the deep roared(DK)
and lifted its waves(DL) on high.
11 Sun and moon stood still(DM) in the heavens
at the glint of your flying arrows,(DN)
at the lightning(DO) of your flashing spear.
12 In wrath you strode through the earth
and in anger you threshed(DP) the nations.
13 You came out(DQ) to deliver(DR) your people,
to save your anointed(DS) one.
You crushed(DT) the leader of the land of wickedness,
you stripped him from head to foot.
14 With his own spear you pierced his head
when his warriors stormed out to scatter us,(DU)
gloating as though about to devour
the wretched(DV) who were in hiding.
15 You trampled the sea(DW) with your horses,
churning the great waters.(DX)
16 I heard and my heart pounded,
my lips quivered at the sound;
decay crept into my bones,
and my legs trembled.(DY)
Yet I will wait patiently(DZ) for the day of calamity
to come on the nation invading us.
17 Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,(EA)
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,(EB)
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,(EC)
I will be joyful in God my Savior.(ED)
19 The Sovereign Lord is my strength;(EE)
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to tread on the heights.(EF)
For the director of music. On my stringed instruments.
1 The word of the Lord that came to Zephaniah son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, during the reign of Josiah(EG) son of Amon(EH) king of Judah:
Judgment on the Whole Earth in the Day of the Lord
2 “I will sweep away everything
from the face of the earth,”(EI)
declares the Lord.
3 “I will sweep away both man and beast;(EJ)
I will sweep away the birds in the sky(EK)
and the fish in the sea—
and the idols that cause the wicked to stumble.”[k]
“When I destroy all mankind
on the face of the earth,”(EL)
declares the Lord,(EM)
4 “I will stretch out my hand(EN) against Judah
and against all who live in Jerusalem.
I will destroy every remnant of Baal worship in this place,(EO)
the very names of the idolatrous priests(EP)—
5 those who bow down on the roofs
to worship the starry host,(EQ)
those who bow down and swear by the Lord
and who also swear by Molek,[l](ER)
6 those who turn back from following(ES) the Lord
and neither seek(ET) the Lord nor inquire(EU) of him.”
7 Be silent(EV) before the Sovereign Lord,
for the day of the Lord(EW) is near.
The Lord has prepared a sacrifice;(EX)
he has consecrated those he has invited.
8 “On the day of the Lord’s sacrifice
I will punish(EY) the officials
and the king’s sons(EZ)
and all those clad
in foreign clothes.
9 On that day I will punish
all who avoid stepping on the threshold,[m](FA)
who fill the temple of their gods
with violence and deceit.(FB)
10 “On that day,(FC)”
declares the Lord,
“a cry will go up from the Fish Gate,(FD)
wailing(FE) from the New Quarter,
and a loud crash from the hills.
11 Wail,(FF) you who live in the market district[n];
all your merchants will be wiped out,
all who trade with[o] silver will be destroyed.(FG)
12 At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps
and punish those who are complacent,(FH)
who are like wine left on its dregs,(FI)
who think, ‘The Lord will do nothing,(FJ)
either good or bad.’(FK)
13 Their wealth will be plundered,(FL)
their houses demolished.
Though they build houses,
they will not live in them;
though they plant vineyards,
they will not drink the wine.”(FM)
14 The great day of the Lord(FN) is near(FO)—
near and coming quickly.
The cry on the day of the Lord is bitter;
the Mighty Warrior shouts his battle cry.
15 That day will be a day of wrath—
a day of distress and anguish,
a day of trouble and ruin,
a day of darkness(FP) and gloom,
a day of clouds and blackness(FQ)—
16 a day of trumpet and battle cry(FR)
against the fortified cities
and against the corner towers.(FS)
17 “I will bring such distress(FT) on all people
that they will grope about like those who are blind,(FU)
because they have sinned against the Lord.
Their blood will be poured out(FV) like dust
and their entrails like dung.(FW)
18 Neither their silver nor their gold
will be able to save them
on the day of the Lord’s wrath.”(FX)
In the fire of his jealousy(FY)
the whole earth will be consumed,(FZ)
for he will make a sudden end
of all who live on the earth.(GA)
Judah and Jerusalem Judged Along With the Nations
Judah Summoned to Repent
2 Gather together,(GB) gather yourselves together,
you shameful(GC) nation,
2 before the decree takes effect
and that day passes like windblown chaff,(GD)
before the Lord’s fierce anger(GE)
comes upon you,
before the day of the Lord’s wrath(GF)
comes upon you.
3 Seek(GG) the Lord, all you humble of the land,
you who do what he commands.
Seek righteousness,(GH) seek humility;(GI)
perhaps you will be sheltered(GJ)
on the day of the Lord’s anger.
Philistia
4 Gaza(GK) will be abandoned
and Ashkelon(GL) left in ruins.
At midday Ashdod will be emptied
and Ekron uprooted.
5 Woe to you who live by the sea,
you Kerethite(GM) people;
the word of the Lord is against you,(GN)
Canaan, land of the Philistines.
He says, “I will destroy you,
and none will be left.”(GO)
6 The land by the sea will become pastures
having wells for shepherds
and pens for flocks.(GP)
7 That land will belong
to the remnant(GQ) of the people of Judah;
there they will find pasture.
In the evening they will lie down
in the houses of Ashkelon.
The Lord their God will care for them;
he will restore their fortunes.[p](GR)
Moab and Ammon
8 “I have heard the insults(GS) of Moab(GT)
and the taunts of the Ammonites,(GU)
who insulted(GV) my people
and made threats against their land.(GW)
9 Therefore, as surely as I live,”
declares the Lord Almighty,
the God of Israel,
“surely Moab(GX) will become like Sodom,(GY)
the Ammonites(GZ) like Gomorrah—
a place of weeds and salt pits,
a wasteland forever.
The remnant of my people will plunder(HA) them;
the survivors(HB) of my nation will inherit their land.(HC)”
10 This is what they will get in return for their pride,(HD)
for insulting(HE) and mocking
the people of the Lord Almighty.(HF)
11 The Lord will be awesome(HG) to them
when he destroys all the gods(HH) of the earth.(HI)
Distant nations will bow down to him,(HJ)
all of them in their own lands.
Cush
Assyria
13 He will stretch out his hand against the north
and destroy Assyria,(HM)
leaving Nineveh(HN) utterly desolate
and dry as the desert.(HO)
14 Flocks and herds(HP) will lie down there,
creatures of every kind.
The desert owl(HQ) and the screech owl(HR)
will roost on her columns.
Their hooting will echo through the windows,
rubble will fill the doorways,
the beams of cedar will be exposed.
15 This is the city of revelry(HS)
that lived in safety.(HT)
She said to herself,
“I am the one! And there is none besides me.”(HU)
What a ruin she has become,
a lair for wild beasts!(HV)
All who pass by her scoff(HW)
and shake their fists.(HX)
Jerusalem
3 Woe to the city of oppressors,(HY)
rebellious(HZ) and defiled!(IA)
2 She obeys(IB) no one,
she accepts no correction.(IC)
She does not trust(ID) in the Lord,
she does not draw near(IE) to her God.
3 Her officials within her
are roaring lions;(IF)
her rulers are evening wolves,(IG)
who leave nothing for the morning.(IH)
4 Her prophets are unprincipled;
they are treacherous people.(II)
Her priests profane the sanctuary
and do violence to the law.(IJ)
5 The Lord within her is righteous;(IK)
he does no wrong.(IL)
Morning by morning(IM) he dispenses his justice,
and every new day he does not fail,(IN)
yet the unrighteous know no shame.(IO)
Jerusalem Remains Unrepentant
6 “I have destroyed nations;
their strongholds are demolished.
I have left their streets deserted,
with no one passing through.
Their cities are laid waste;(IP)
they are deserted and empty.
7 Of Jerusalem I thought,
‘Surely you will fear me
and accept correction!’(IQ)
Then her place of refuge[r] would not be destroyed,
nor all my punishments come upon[s] her.
But they were still eager
to act corruptly(IR) in all they did.
8 Therefore wait(IS) for me,”
declares the Lord,
“for the day I will stand up to testify.[t]
I have decided to assemble(IT) the nations,(IU)
to gather the kingdoms
and to pour out my wrath(IV) on them—
all my fierce anger.(IW)
The whole world will be consumed(IX)
by the fire of my jealous anger.
Restoration of Israel’s Remnant
9 “Then I will purify the lips of the peoples,
that all of them may call(IY) on the name of the Lord(IZ)
and serve(JA) him shoulder to shoulder.
10 From beyond the rivers of Cush[u](JB)
my worshipers, my scattered people,
will bring me offerings.(JC)
11 On that day you, Jerusalem, will not be put to shame(JD)
for all the wrongs you have done to me,(JE)
because I will remove from you
your arrogant boasters.(JF)
Never again will you be haughty
on my holy hill.(JG)
12 But I will leave within you
the meek(JH) and humble.
The remnant of Israel
will trust(JI) in the name of the Lord.
13 They(JJ) will do no wrong;(JK)
they will tell no lies.(JL)
A deceitful tongue
will not be found in their mouths.(JM)
They will eat and lie down(JN)
and no one will make them afraid.(JO)”
14 Sing, Daughter Zion;(JP)
shout aloud,(JQ) Israel!
Be glad and rejoice(JR) with all your heart,
Daughter Jerusalem!
15 The Lord has taken away your punishment,
he has turned back your enemy.
The Lord, the King of Israel, is with you;(JS)
never again will you fear(JT) any harm.(JU)
16 On that day
they will say to Jerusalem,
“Do not fear, Zion;
do not let your hands hang limp.(JV)
17 The Lord your God is with you,
the Mighty Warrior who saves.(JW)
He will take great delight(JX) in you;
in his love he will no longer rebuke you,(JY)
but will rejoice over you with singing.”(JZ)
18 “I will remove from you
all who mourn over the loss of your appointed festivals,
which is a burden and reproach for you.
19 At that time I will deal
with all who oppressed(KA) you.
I will rescue the lame;
I will gather the exiles.(KB)
I will give them praise(KC) and honor
in every land where they have suffered shame.
20 At that time I will gather you;
at that time I will bring(KD) you home.
I will give you honor(KE) and praise(KF)
among all the peoples of the earth
when I restore your fortunes[v](KG)
before your very eyes,”
says the Lord.

New International Version
Revelation 9-10
New International Version
9 The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth.(A) The star was given the key(B) to the shaft of the Abyss.(C) 2 When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace.(D) The sun and sky were darkened(E) by the smoke from the Abyss.(F) 3 And out of the smoke locusts(G) came down on the earth and were given power like that of scorpions(H) of the earth. 4 They were told not to harm(I) the grass of the earth or any plant or tree,(J) but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.(K) 5 They were not allowed to kill them but only to torture them for five months.(L) And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion(M) when it strikes. 6 During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.(N)
7 The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle.(O) On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces.(P) 8 Their hair was like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth.(Q) 9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle.(R) 10 They had tails with stingers, like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months.(S) 11 They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss,(T) whose name in Hebrew(U) is Abaddon(V) and in Greek is Apollyon (that is, Destroyer).
12 The first woe is past; two other woes are yet to come.(W)
13 The sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the four horns(X) of the golden altar that is before God.(Y) 14 It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels(Z) who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”(AA) 15 And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and day and month and year were released(AB) to kill a third(AC) of mankind.(AD) 16 The number of the mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand. I heard their number.(AE)
17 The horses and riders I saw in my vision looked like this: Their breastplates were fiery red, dark blue, and yellow as sulfur. The heads of the horses resembled the heads of lions, and out of their mouths(AF) came fire, smoke and sulfur.(AG) 18 A third(AH) of mankind was killed(AI) by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur(AJ) that came out of their mouths. 19 The power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails were like snakes, having heads with which they inflict injury.
20 The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent(AK) of the work of their hands;(AL) they did not stop worshiping demons,(AM) and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk.(AN) 21 Nor did they repent(AO) of their murders, their magic arts,(AP) their sexual immorality(AQ) or their thefts.
The Angel and the Little Scroll
10 Then I saw another mighty angel(AR) coming down from heaven.(AS) He was robed in a cloud, with a rainbow(AT) above his head; his face was like the sun,(AU) and his legs were like fiery pillars.(AV) 2 He was holding a little scroll,(AW) which lay open in his hand. He planted his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,(AX) 3 and he gave a loud shout like the roar of a lion.(AY) When he shouted, the voices of the seven thunders(AZ) spoke. 4 And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write;(BA) but I heard a voice from heaven(BB) say, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down.”(BC)
5 Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land(BD) raised his right hand to heaven.(BE) 6 And he swore(BF) by him who lives for ever and ever,(BG) who created the heavens and all that is in them, the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it,(BH) and said, “There will be no more delay!(BI) 7 But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet,(BJ) the mystery(BK) of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.”(BL)
8 Then the voice that I had heard from heaven(BM) spoke to me once more: “Go, take the scroll(BN) that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”
9 So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but ‘in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.’[a]”(BO) 10 I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth,(BP) but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour. 11 Then I was told, “You must prophesy(BQ) again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings.”(BR)

Psalm 137
1 By the rivers of Babylon(A) we sat and wept(B)
when we remembered Zion.(C)
2 There on the poplars(D)
we hung our harps,(E)
3 for there our captors(F) asked us for songs,
our tormentors demanded(G) songs of joy;
they said, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”(H)
4 How can we sing the songs of the Lord(I)
while in a foreign land?
5 If I forget you,(J) Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget its skill.
6 May my tongue cling to the roof(K) of my mouth
if I do not remember(L) you,
if I do not consider Jerusalem(M)
my highest joy.
7 Remember, Lord, what the Edomites(N) did
on the day Jerusalem fell.(O)
“Tear it down,” they cried,
“tear it down to its foundations!”(P)
8 Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction,(Q)
happy is the one who repays you
according to what you have done to us.
9 Happy is the one who seizes your infants
and dashes them(R) against the rocks.
Psalm 138
Of David.
1 I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart;
before the “gods”(S) I will sing(T) your praise.
2 I will bow down toward your holy temple(U)
and will praise your name(V)
for your unfailing love and your faithfulness,(W)
for you have so exalted your solemn decree
that it surpasses your fame.(X)
3 When I called,(Y) you answered me;(Z)
you greatly emboldened(AA) me.
4 May all the kings of the earth(AB) praise you, Lord,
when they hear what you have decreed.
5 May they sing(AC) of the ways of the Lord,
for the glory of the Lord(AD) is great.
6 Though the Lord is exalted, he looks kindly on the lowly;(AE)
though lofty, he sees them(AF) from afar.
7 Though I walk(AG) in the midst of trouble,
you preserve my life.(AH)
You stretch out your hand(AI) against the anger of my foes;(AJ)
with your right hand(AK) you save me.(AL)
8 The Lord will vindicate(AM) me;
your love, Lord, endures forever(AN)—
do not abandon(AO) the works of your hands.(AP)
