The Book of the Prophet Habakkuk 1: 24- 2: 4

1:12 Have you not existed from the beginning, Lord my God, my holy one, and so we shall not die? Drottinn, you have stationed him for judgment, and you have establish that his strength will be swept away.
1:13 Your eyes are pure, you do not behold evil, and you cannot look towards iniquity. Why do you look upon the agents of iniquity, and remain silent, while the impious is devouring one who is more just than himself?
1:14 And you will make men like the fish of the sea and like the creeping things that have no ruler.
1:15 He lifted up everything with his hook. He drew them in with his dragnet, and gathered them into his netting. Over this, he will rejoice and exult.
1:16 Af þessari ástæðu, he will offer victims to his dragnet, and he will sacrifice to his netting. For through them, his portion has been made fat, and his meals elite.
1:17 Vegna þessa, því, he expands his dragnet and will not be lenient in continually putting to death the peoples.

 

2:1 I will stand firm during my watch, and fix my position over the fortification. And I will observe carefully, to see what might be said to me and what I might respond to my opponent.
2:2 Og Drottinn svaraði mér og sagði: Skrifaðu sýnina og útskýrðu hana á spjaldtölvum, svo að sá sem les hana megi renna í gegnum hana.
2:3 Því að enn er sýnin fjarri, og það mun birtast á endanum, og það mun ekki ljúga. Ef það lýsir einhverri töf, Bíddu eftir því. Því það er að koma og það mun koma, og það verður ekki hindrað.
2:4 Sjá, sá sem er vantrúaður, sál hans mun ekki vera rétt innra með honum; en sá sem er réttlátur mun lifa í trú sinni.
