mix a double portion for her (E)in the cup she mixed.
7 (F)As she glorified herself and lived in luxury,
so give her a like measure of torment and mourning,
since in her heart she says,
(G)‘I sit as a queen,
I am no widow,

Habakkuk 2:17

17 (A)The violence (B)done to Lebanon will overwhelm you,
as will the destruction of the beasts that terrified them,
(C)for the blood of man and violence to the earth,
to cities and all who dwell in them.
Habakkuk 2:6-12
English Standard Version
Woe to the Chaldeans
6 Shall not all these (A)take up their taunt against him, with scoffing and riddles for him, and say,
(B)“Woe to him (C)who heaps up what is not his own—
for (D)how long?—
and (E)loads himself with pledges!”
7 (F)Will not your debtors suddenly arise,
and those awake who will make you tremble?
Then you will be spoil for them.
8 (G)Because you have plundered many nations,
all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder you,
(H)for the blood of man and (I)violence to the earth,
to cities and all who dwell in them.

English Standard Version
Habakkuk's Complaint
2 O Lord, (A)how long shall I cry for help,
and you will not hear?
Or cry to you (B)“Violence!”
and you will not save?
3 (C)Why do you make me see iniquity,
and why do you idly look at wrong?
Destruction (D)and violence are before me;
strife and contention arise.
4 (E)So the law is paralyzed,
and justice never goes forth.
(F)For the wicked surround the righteous;
so justice goes forth perverted.
The Lord's Answer
5 (G)“Look among the nations, and see;
wonder and be astounded.
(H)For I am doing a work in your days
that you would not believe if told.
6 For behold, (I)I am raising up the Chaldeans,
that bitter and hasty nation,
(J)who march through the breadth of the earth,
(K)to seize dwellings not their own.
7 They are dreaded and fearsome;
(L)their justice and dignity go forth from themselves.
8 (M)Their horses are swifter than leopards,
more fierce than (N)the evening wolves;
their horsemen press proudly on.
Their horsemen come from afar;
(O)they fly like an eagle swift to devour.
9 They all come (P)for violence,
all their faces forward.
They gather captives (Q)like sand.
10 At kings they scoff,
and at rulers they laugh.
(R)They laugh at every fortress,
for (S)they pile up earth and take it.

19 “Then I desired to know the truth about (A)the fourth beast, which was different from all the rest, exceedingly terrifying, with its teeth of iron and claws of bronze, and which devoured and broke in pieces and stamped what was left with its feet, 20 (B)and about the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn that came up and before which three of them fell, the horn that had eyes and a mouth that spoke great things, and that seemed greater than its companions. 21 As I looked, this horn (C)made war with the saints and prevailed over them, 22 until the (D)Ancient of Days came, and (E)judgment was given for the saints of the Most High, and the time came when (F)the saints possessed the kingdom.
23 “Thus he said: ‘As for (G)the fourth beast,
there shall be a fourth kingdom on earth,
which shall be different from all the kingdoms,
and it shall devour the whole earth,
and trample it down, and break it to pieces.
24 As for the ten horns,
out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise,
and another shall arise after them;
he shall be different from the former ones,
and shall put down three kings.
25 (H)He shall speak words against the Most High,
and shall wear out the saints of the Most High,
and shall think to (I)change the times and the law;
and they shall be given into his hand
for (J)a time, times, and half a time.
