Habakkuk

Chapter 1

הַ/מַּשָׂא֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר חָזָ֔ה חֲבַקּ֖וּק הַ/נָּבִֽיא׃	א	1	The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
עַד־אָ֧נָה יְהוָ֛ה שִׁוַּ֖עְתִּי וְ/לֹ֣א תִשְׁמָ֑ע אֶזְעַ֥ק אֵלֶ֛י/ךָ חָמָ֖ס וְ/לֹ֥א תוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃	ב	2	How long, Yehovah, shall I cry, and Thou wilt not hear? I cry out unto Thee of violence, and Thou wilt not save.
לָ֣/מָּה תַרְאֵ֤/נִי אָ֙וֶן֙ וְ/עָמָ֣ל תַּבִּ֔יט וְ/שֹׁ֥ד וְ/חָמָ֖ס לְ/נֶגְדִּ֑/י וַ/יְהִ֧י רִ֦יב וּ/מָד֖וֹן יִשָּֽׂא׃	ג	3	Why dost Thou show me iniquity, and beholdest mischief? And why are spoiling and violence before me? so that there is strife, and contention ariseth.
עַל־כֵּן֙ תָּפ֣וּג תּוֹרָ֔ה וְ/לֹֽא־יֵצֵ֥א לָ/נֶ֖צַח מִשְׁפָּ֑ט כִּ֤י רָשָׁע֙ מַכְתִּ֣יר אֶת־הַ/צַּדִּ֔יק עַל־כֵּ֛ן יֵצֵ֥א מִשְׁפָּ֖ט מְעֻקָּֽל׃	ד	4	Therefore the Torah is slacked, and right doth never go forth; for the wicked doth beset the righteous; therefore right goeth forth perverted.
רְא֤וּ בַ/גּוֹיִם֙ וְֽ/הַבִּ֔יטוּ וְ/הִֽתַּמְּה֖וּ תְּמָ֑הוּ כִּי־פֹ֙עַל֙ פֹּעֵ֣ל בִּֽ/ימֵי/כֶ֔ם לֹ֥א תַאֲמִ֖ינוּ כִּ֥י יְסֻפָּֽר׃	ה	5	Look ye among the nations, and behold, and wonder marvellously; for, behold, a work shall be wrought in your days, which ye will not believe though it be told you.
כִּֽי־הִנְ/נִ֤י מֵקִים֙ אֶת־הַ/כַּשְׂדִּ֔ים הַ/גּ֖וֹי הַ/מַּ֣ר וְ/הַ/נִּמְהָ֑ר הַֽ/הוֹלֵךְ֙ לְ/מֶרְחֲבֵי־אֶ֔רֶץ לָ/רֶ֖שֶׁת מִשְׁכָּנ֥וֹת לֹּא־לֽ/וֹ׃	ו	6	For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and impetuous nation, that march through the breadth of the earth, to possess dwelling-places that are not theirs.
אָיֹ֥ם וְ/נוֹרָ֖א ה֑וּא מִמֶּ֕/נּוּ מִשְׁפָּט֥/וֹ וּ/שְׂאֵת֖/וֹ יֵצֵֽא׃	ז	7	They are terrible and dreadful; their law and their majesty proceed from themselves.
וְ/קַלּ֨וּ מִ/נְּמֵרִ֜ים סוּסָ֗י/ו וְ/חַדּוּ֙ מִ/זְּאֵ֣בֵי עֶ֔רֶב וּ/פָ֖שׁוּ פָּֽרָשָׁ֑י/ו וּ/פָֽרָשָׁי/ו֙ מֵ/רָח֣וֹק יָבֹ֔אוּ יָעֻ֕פוּ כְּ/נֶ֖שֶׁר חָ֥שׁ לֶ/אֱכֽוֹל׃	ח	8	Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and are more fierce than the wolves of the desert; and their horsemen spread themselves; yea, their horsemen come from far, they fly as a vulture that hasteth to devour.
כֻּלֹּ/ה֙ לְ/חָמָ֣ס יָב֔וֹא מְגַמַּ֥ת פְּנֵי/הֶ֖ם קָדִ֑ימָ/ה וַ/יֶּאֱסֹ֥ף כַּ/ח֖וֹל שֶֽׁבִי׃	ט	9	They come all of them for violence; their faces are set eagerly as the east wind; and they gather captives as the sand.
וְ/הוּא֙ בַּ/מְּלָכִ֣ים יִתְקַלָּ֔ס וְ/רֹזְנִ֖ים מִשְׂחָ֣ק ל֑/וֹ ה֚וּא לְ/כָל־מִבְצָ֣ר יִשְׂחָ֔ק וַ/יִּצְבֹּ֥ר עָפָ֖ר וַֽ/יִּלְכְּדָֽ/הּ׃	י	10	And they scoff at kings, and princes are a derision unto them; they deride every stronghold, for they heap up earth, and take it.
אָ֣ז חָלַ֥ף ר֛וּחַ וַֽ/יַּעֲבֹ֖ר וְ/אָשֵׁ֑ם ז֥וּ כֹח֖/וֹ לֵ/אלֹהֽ/וֹ׃	יא	11	Then their spirit doth pass over and transgress, and they become guilty: even they who impute their might unto their god.
הֲ/ל֧וֹא אַתָּ֣ה מִ/קֶּ֗דֶם יְהוָ֧ה אֱלֹהַ֛/י קְדֹשִׁ֖/י לֹ֣א נָמ֑וּת יְהוָה֙ לְ/מִשְׁפָּ֣ט שַׂמְתּ֔/וֹ וְ/צ֖וּר לְ/הוֹכִ֥יחַ יְסַדְתּֽ/וֹ׃	יב	12	Art not Thou from everlasting, Yehovah my God, my Holy One? we shall not die. Yehovah, Thou hast ordained them for judgment, and Thou, O Rock, hast established them for correction.
טְה֤וֹר עֵינַ֙יִם֙ מֵ/רְא֣וֹת רָ֔ע וְ/הַבִּ֥יט אֶל־עָמָ֖ל לֹ֣א תוּכָ֑ל לָ֤/מָּה תַבִּיט֙ בּֽוֹגְדִ֔ים תַּחֲרִ֕ישׁ בְּ/בַלַּ֥ע רָשָׁ֖ע צַדִּ֥יק מִמֶּֽ/נּוּ׃	יג	13	Thou that art of eyes too pure to behold evil, and that canst not look on mischief, wherefore lookest Thou, when they deal treacherously, and holdest Thy peace, when the wicked swalloweth up the man that is more righteous than he;
וַ/תַּעֲשֶׂ֥ה אָדָ֖ם כִּ/דְגֵ֣י הַ/יָּ֑ם כְּ/רֶ֖מֶשׂ לֹא־מֹשֵׁ֥ל בּֽ/וֹ׃	יד	14	And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
כֻּלֹּ/ה֙ בְּ/חַכָּ֣ה הֵֽעֲלָ֔ה יְגֹרֵ֣/הוּ בְ/חֶרְמ֔/וֹ וְ/יַאַסְפֵ֖/הוּ בְּ/מִכְמַרְתּ֑/וֹ עַל־כֵּ֖ן יִשְׂמַ֥ח וְ/יָגִֽיל׃	יה	15	They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag; therefore they rejoice and exult.
עַל־כֵּן֙ יְזַבֵּ֣חַ לְ/חֶרְמ֔/וֹ וִֽ/יקַטֵּ֖ר לְ/מִכְמַרְתּ֑/וֹ כִּ֤י בָ/הֵ֙מָּה֙ שָׁמֵ֣ן חֶלְק֔/וֹ וּ/מַאֲכָל֖/וֹ בְּרִאָֽה׃	יו	16	Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and offer unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their food plenteous.
הַ֥/עַל כֵּ֖ן יָרִ֣יק חֶרְמ֑/וֹ וְ/תָמִ֛יד לַ/הֲרֹ֥ג גּוֹיִ֖ם לֹ֥א יַחְמֽוֹל׃ ס	יז	17	Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare to slay the nations continually? {S}

וַ/יַּעֲנֵ֤/נִי יְהוָה֙ וַ/יֹּ֔אמֶר כְּת֣וֹב חָז֔וֹן וּ/בָאֵ֖ר עַל־הַ/לֻּח֑וֹת לְמַ֥עַן יָר֖וּץ ק֥וֹרֵא בֽ/וֹ׃	ב	2	And Yehovah answered me, and said: 'Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that a man may read it swiftly.
כִּ֣י ע֤וֹד חָזוֹן֙ לַ/מּוֹעֵ֔ד וְ/יָפֵ֥חַ לַ/קֵּ֖ץ וְ/לֹ֣א יְכַזֵּ֑ב אִם־יִתְמַהְמָהּ֙ חַכֵּה־ל֔/וֹ כִּֽי־בֹ֥א יָבֹ֖א לֹ֥א יְאַחֵֽר׃	ג	3	For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it declareth of the end, and doth not lie; though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay.'
הִנֵּ֣ה עֻפְּלָ֔ה לֹא־יָשְׁרָ֥ה נַפְשׁ֖/וֹ בּ֑/וֹ וְ/צַדִּ֖יק בֶּ/אֱמוּנָת֥/וֹ יִחְיֶֽה׃	ד	4	Behold, his soul is puffed up, it is not upright in him; but the righteous shall live by his faith. {S}

QERE — KETIV
(What is Read —What is Written) :

Qere and Ketiv, from the Aramaic qere or q're, קְרֵי‎ ("[what is] read") and ketiv, or ketib, kethib, kethibh, kethiv, כְּתִיב‎ ("[what is] written"), also known as "keri uchesiv" or "keri uchetiv," refers to a system for marking differences between what is written in the consonantal text of the Hebrew Bible, as preserved by scribal tradition, and what is read. In such situations, the Qere is the technical orthographic device used to indicate the pronunciation of the words in the Masoretic text of the Hebrew language scriptures (Tanakh), while the Ketiv indicates their written form, as inherited from tradition.
SOURCE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qere_and_Ketiv

Q. What is the Qere and Ketiv and how does it relate to the Masoretes?
( see: http://jbtc.org/v08/Graves2003.html )

For PDF Of Above Link Click This Line!

A. Qere and Ketiv are orthographic devices that were used by the Masoretes,
i.e., Jewish scribes from the 6-10th centuries.

Qere means, "what is read," and ketiv means, "what is written".

It is found in existing Masoretic manuscripts dating to the 9th and 10th centuries, CE.

There are several forms of Qere / Ketiv, including:
ordinary, vowel, omitted, added, euphemistic, split, and qere perpetuum.

The ketiv that is most relevant is the vowel qere. In this case, the consonants are unchanged,

Notable Modifications
To The JPS 1917 Based English Scripture
In The-Iconoclast.org's Hebrew–English Tanakh:

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS!

In The-Iconoclast.org Modified Version Of the JPS 1917 Text, The Verse numbering has been altered to match the corresponding verses in the original Hebrew Scriptures of the actual Leningrad Codex for "The Ten Commandments" in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5!

For More Information Regarding 'The Ten Commandments', See Our Page, Comparing The Ten Commandments Exodus 20 & Deuteronomy 5 In The Leningrad Codex

The Name יְהֹוָה Yehovah

"Yehovah", The Name Of G-d In The Hebrew Scripures ('YHVH': י 'Yud', ה 'He', ו 'Vav', ה 'He', aka Tetragamaton) Is Used Instead of "LORD" (note: ALL CAPITAL LETTERS) As Found In The Original JPS 1917 Tanakh.

For More Information Regarding 'The Name', See Our Page, The Name יְהֹוָה [Yehovah] In The Aleppo And Leningrad Codices.

In Converting "LORD" to "Yehovah", We Counted A Total Of 5,553 Occurrences In The JPS 1917 Tanakh!

הָאָדֹ֥ן ׀ יְהוָֽה ha Adon Yehovah

The Hebrew Phrase הָאָדֹ֥ן ׀ יְהוָֽה Occurs In Only Two Places, In Exodus 23:17 and 34:23. In Those Cases, We Have Changed The Translation Wording From "Lord GOD" To "Lord GOD [ha Adon Yehovah]".

אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהֹוִֽה Adonai Yehovi

Typically Translated As "Lord GOD", It Is A Much Less Common Form Of The Divine Name, יְהֹוָה [Yehovah].

This Form אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהֹוִֽה Is, Nevertheless, Quite Important In Understanding Pronounciation For The Divine Name, Especially Since The Hebrew Form For It Has NOT Undergone The Intense Scrutiny Of rabbinic Censorship As Has "Yehovah". Accordingly, The Hebrew Text For This Form Of 'The Name' Typically HAS NOT BEEN ALTERED In Jewish Publications That Actually Keep The Vowel Pointers From The Masoretic Text!

In Converting "Lord GOD" to "Lord GOD [Adonai Yehovi]", We Counted A Total Of 284 Occurrences In The JPS 1917 Tanakh. Of All Of Its Occurrences, The Fully Voweled Form Of The Hebrew אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהֹוִֽה Appears 31 Times, And The Non–Fully Voweled Form אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִֽה (The Same Hebrew Letters, Minus Just The One 'Oh' Sounding Character, "The Holem", Which Follows The First 'He' In ( י 'Yud', ה 'He', ו 'Vav', ה 'He' ), Make Up All Other Occurrences.

תורה Torah

The Word "Law" (Capital and lower case), As Found In The JPS 1917, Has Been Changed To "Torah" Where The Base Hebrew Letters תורה Correspond To The Matching Verse In The Leningrad Codex (Masoretic Text)!

In Converting "Law" to "Torah", We Counted A Total Of 223 Occurrences In The JPS 1917 Tanakh!

Yerushalam, Yerushalem and Yerushalayim

יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם "Yerushalam"

The Word "Jerusalem" (the name of capital city in ancient Israel), As Found In The JPS 1917, Has Been Changed To Its Transliterated Equivalent, "Yerushalam" (note the 'am' ending), In All Places Where It Corresponds To [ יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם ] In The Hebrew Text.

יְרוּשְׁלֶֽם "Yerushalem"

A Rare, Second Transliterated Form, "Yerushalem" (note the 'em' ending), Has Been Changed From "Jerusalem" Where The Hebrew Letters Spell Out The Aramaic Form [ יְרוּשְׁלֶֽם ] Found In Aramaic Parts Of Daniel And Ezra.

ירוּשָׁלַ֙יִם֙ "Yerushalayim"

The Extremely Rare, Third Transliterated Form, "Yerushalayim" (note the 'ayim' ending), Has Been Changed From The JPS 1917 "Jerusalem" To Correspond To The Hebrew [ ירוּשָׁלַ֙יִם֙ ].

Noteworthy Is That This Rarest Form Appears In Only Four (4) Places In The Entire Hebrew Scriptures, Yet, It Is The Most Common Pronunciation For The Name Of The Ancient City! Its Four (Out Of Over 600) Appearances Are:
1) Jeremiah 26:18, 2) Esther 2:6, 3) I Chronicles 3:5, and 4) II Chronicles 25:1.

In Converting "Jerusalem" To Its Transliterated Equivalents, We Counted A Total Of 625 Occurrences In The JPS 1917 Tanakh!
