Habakkuk 1:5 in Context — Habakkuk 1

3 Por que me fazes ver a injustiça, e vês a opressão? Pois assolação e violência estão em frente de mim, há brigas, e disputas se levantam.

4 Por isso que a lei é enfraquecida, e o juízo nunca se cumpre: porque o perverso cerca o justo, por o juízo é distorcido.

5 Vede entre as nações, e prestai atenção, e espantai-vos, espantai-vos; porque uma obra será feita em vossos dias, que quando for contada, não acreditareis.

6 Porque eis que eu levanto os caldeus, uma nação amarga e veloz, que caminha pelas larguras da terra para tomar posse de moradas que não são suas.

7 Ela é espantosa é e terrível; que impõe seu próprio julgamento e sua própria honra.
