- Chapter 11 -

I will take refuge in the Lord

(Habakkuk 1:12-17)

I trust that Yahweh will protect me. So I do not fly off to the mountains like birds do.

It is true that wicked people have hidden in the darkness, that they have pulled back their bowstrings and aimed their arrows to shoot them at people who honor Yahweh.

When wicked people do not suffer for disobeying the laws, what can righteous people do?

But Yahweh is sitting on his throne in his sacred temple in heaven, and he sees everything that people do.

Yahweh examines what righteous people do and what wicked people do, and he hates those who love to injure others.

He will send down from the sky flaming coals and burning sulfur on the wicked; he will send scorching hot winds to punish them.

Yahweh does everything that is right, and he loves those who do what is right; such people will come into his presence.

I will take refuge in the Lord

(Habakkuk 1:12-17)

In the LORD, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain”?

For, behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrows on the strings, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?

The LORD is in his holy temple. The LORD is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.

The LORD examines the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and him who loves violence.

On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.

For the LORD is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face.
