HABAKKUK RESURRECTION
Habakkuk 2. I will stand upon I watch, and set I upon the Tower, and will look to see what He will say to I, and what I shall answer concerning I complaint when I am reproved. The Eternal answered I, and said, Write the Vision, and make it plain upon Tablets, that he may run that read it. The Vision is yet for the appointed time, and it haste toward the End, and shall not Lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay.
Behold, his soul is puffed up, it is not upright in him; the Righteous shall live by his Faith. Yea, moreover, wine is treacherous, a haughty man, that keep not at home; who enlarge his desire as Sheol, and is as Death, and cannot be satisfied, but gather unto him all Nations, and heap unto him all peoples.
Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increase that which is not his! how long? and that cover himself with pledges! Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and you shalt be for booty unto them?
Because you have plundered many Nations, all the remnant of the people shall plunder thee, because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the Land, to the City and to all that dwell therein. Woe to him that get an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil!You have devised shame to your house, by cutting off many people, and have sinned against your soul.
For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it. Woe to him that build a Town with blood, and establisheth a City by iniquity! Behold, is it not of the Eternal of Host that their labor shall end in Fire, and the Nations weary themselves for Vanity? The Earth shall be filled with the Knowledge and Glory of Jahovah, as the waters cover the Sea.
