Habakkuk 3:8 in Context — Habakkuk 3

6 Il s’arrête, et de l’œil il mesure la terre; Il regarde, et il fait trembler les nations; Les montagnes éternelles se brisent, Les collines antiques s’abaissent; Les sentiers d’autrefois s’ouvrent devant lui.

7 Je vois dans la détresse les tentes de l’Éthiopie, Et les tentes du pays de Madian sont dans l’épouvante.

8 L’Éternel est-il irrité contre les fleuves? Est-ce contre les fleuves que s’enflamme ta colère, Contre la mer que se répand ta fureur, Pour que tu sois monté sur tes chevaux, Sur ton char de victoire?

9 Ton arc est mis à nu; Les malédictions sont les traits de ta parole… — Pause. Tu fends la terre pour donner cours aux fleuves.

10 A ton aspect, les montagnes tremblent; Des torrents d’eau se précipitent; L’abîme fait entendre sa voix, Il lève ses mains en haut.
