Habakkuk 3:14 in Context — Habakkuk 3

12 Com indignação marchaste pela terra, com ira trilhaste as nações.

13 Saíste para a salvar o teu povo, para salvar o teu ungido. Feriste o líder da casa do ímpio, descobrindo-o dos pés ao pescoço. (Selá)

14 Perfuraste com suas próprias lanças os líderes de suas tropas, que vieram impetuosamente para me dispersarem. A alegria deles era como a de devorarem os pobres às escondidas.

15 Pisaste pelo mar com teus cavalos, pela turbulência de grandes águas.

16 Quando eu ouvi, meu ventre se perturbou; por causa do ruído meus lábios tremeram; podridão veio em meus ossos, e em meu lugar me perturbei; descansarei até o dia da angústia, quando virá contra o povo que nos ataca.
