Habakkuk 3:13 in Context — Habakkuk 3

11 El sol y la luna se pararon en su estancia: á la luz de tus saetas anduvieron, y al resplandor de tu fulgente lanza.

12 Con ira hollaste la tierra, con furor trillaste las gentes.

13 Saliste para salvar tu pueblo, para salvar con tu ungido. Traspasaste la cabeza de la casa del impío, desnudando el cimiento hasta el cuello. (Selah.)

14 Horadaste con sus báculos las cabezas de sus villas, que como tempestad acometieron para derramarme: su orgullo era como para devorar al pobre encubiertamente.

15 Hiciste camino en la mar á tus caballos, por montón de grandes aguas.
