## Habakkuk 3:6-17 in Context (Verses 3–19 KJV)
 
 [3 ](/kjv/habakkuk/3/3) God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.*
 
 [4 ](/kjv/habakkuk/3/4) And *his* brightness was as the light; he had horns *coming* out of his hand: and there *was* the hiding of his power.*
 
 [5 ](/kjv/habakkuk/3/5) Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.*
 
 [6 ](/kjv/habakkuk/3/6) He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways *are* everlasting.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/habakkuk/3/7) I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: *and* the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.**
 
 [8 ](/kjv/habakkuk/3/8) Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? *was* thine anger against the rivers? *was* thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses *and* thy chariots of salvation?*
 
 [9 ](/kjv/habakkuk/3/9) Thy bow was made quite naked, *according* to the oaths of the tribes, *even thy* word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.*
 
 [10 ](/kjv/habakkuk/3/10) The mountains saw thee, *and* they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, *and* lifted up his hands on high.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/habakkuk/3/11) The sun *and* moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, *and* at the shining of thy glittering spear.*
 
 [12 ](/kjv/habakkuk/3/12) Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/habakkuk/3/13) Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, *even* for salvation with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah.*
 
 [14 ](/kjv/habakkuk/3/14) Thou didst strike through with his staves the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing *was* as to devour the poor secretly.*
 
 [15 ](/kjv/habakkuk/3/15) Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses, *through* the heap of great waters.*
 
 [16 ](/kjv/habakkuk/3/16) When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops.*
 
 [17 ](/kjv/habakkuk/3/17) ¶ Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither *shall* fruit *be* in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and *there shall be* no herd in the stalls:*
 
 [18 ](/kjv/habakkuk/3/18) Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/habakkuk/3/19) The LORD God *is* my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ *feet*, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.**
