Habakkuk 3:3-5
International Standard Version
3 God comes from Teman[a]—
the Holy One from Mount Paran.[b]
His glory spreads throughout the heavens,
and praises about him fill the earth.
4 His radiance is like sunlight;
beams of light shine[c] from his hand,
where his strength lays hidden.
5 Before him pestilence walks,
and disease follows behind him.[d]
