Habakkuk 3:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 Thou didst [a]strike through with his own staves the heads of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.
15 Thou didst walk in the sea with thine horses upon the heap of great waters.
16 When I [b]heard, my belly trembled: my lips shook at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in [c]the day of trouble: for when he cometh up [d]unto the people, he shall destroy them.
