Habakkuk 3:14

Read in context

Habakkuk 3:12–16 · Berean Standard Bible

12 You marched across the earth with fury; You threshed the nations in wrath.

13 You went forth for the salvation of Your people, to save Your anointed. You crushed the head of the house of the wicked and stripped him from head to toe. Selah

14 With his own spear You pierced his head, when his warriors stormed out to scatter us, gloating as though ready to secretly devour the weak.

15 You trampled the sea with Your horses, churning the great waters.

16 I heard and trembled within; my lips quivered at the sound. Decay entered my bones; I trembled where I stood. Yet I must wait patiently for the day of distress to come upon the people who invade us.
