Habakkuk 3:9 in Context — Habakkuk 3

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.

11 Le soleil et la lune s’arrêtent dans leur demeure, A la lumière de tes flèches qui partent, A la clarté de ta lance qui brille.
