╚┴┬ 1:1 ╘HE BURDEN WHICH ╚ABAKKUK THE PROPHET DID SEE.
╚┴┬ 1:2 ╧ ╠╧╥─, HOW LONG SHALL ╔ CRY, AND THOU WILT NOT HEAR! EVEN CRY OUT UNTO THEE OF VIOLENCE, AND THOU WILT NOT SAVE!
╚┴┬ 1:3 ╫HY DOST THOU SHEW ME INIQUITY, AND CAUSE ME TO BEHOLD GRIEVANCE? FOR SPOILING AND VIOLENCE ARE BEFORE ME: AND THERE ARE THAT RAISE UP STRIFE AND CONTENTION.
╚┴┬ 1:4 ╘HEREFORE THE LAW IS SLACKED, AND JUDGMENT DOTH NEVER GO FORTH: FOR THE WICKED DOTH COMPASS ABOUT THE RIGHTEOUS; THEREFORE WRONG JUDGMENT PROCEEDETH.
╚┴┬ 1:5 ┬EHOLD YE AMONG THE HEATHEN, AND REGARD, AND WONDER MARVELOUSLY: FOR ╔ WILL WORK A WORK IN YOUR DAYS WHICH YE WILL NOT BELIEVE, THOUGH IT BE TOLD YOU.
╚┴┬ 1:6 ╞OR, LO, ╔ RAISE UP THE ├HALDEANS, THAT BITTER AND HASTY NATION, WHICH SHALL MARCH THROUGH THE BREADTH OF THE LAND, TO POSSESS THE DWELLINGPLACES THAT ARE NOT THEIR'S.
╚┴┬ 1:7 ╘HEY ARE TERRIBLE AND DREADFUL: THEIR JUDGMENT AND THEIR DIGNITY SHALL PROCEED OF THEMSELVES.
╚┴┬ 1:8 ╘HEIR HORSES ALSO ARE SWIFTER THAN THE LEOPARDS, AND ARE MORE FIERCE THAN THE EVENING WOLVES: AND THEIR HORSEMEN SHALL SPREAD THEMSELVES, AND THEIR HORSEMEN SHALL COME FROM FAR; THEY SHALL FLY AS THE EAGLE THAT HASTETH TO EAT.
╚┴┬ 1:9 ╘HEY SHALL COME ALL FOR VIOLENCE: THEIR FACES SHALL SUP UP AS THE EAST WIND, AND THEY SHALL GATHER THE CAPTIVITY AS THE SAND.
