Habakkuk 3:5-7
Common English Bible
5 Pestilence walks in front of him.
Plague marches at his feet.
6 He stops and measures the earth.
He looks and sets out against the nations.
The everlasting mountains collapse;
the eternal hills bow down;
the eternal paths belong to him.
7 I saw the tents of Cushan under duress.
The curtains of the land of Midian were quaking.

then the (D)eternal mountains (E)were scattered;
the everlasting hills sank low.
His were (F)the everlasting ways.
7 I saw the tents of (G)Cushan in affliction;
(H)the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
