Habakkuk 3:7

Read in context

Habakkuk 3:5–9 · Berean Standard Bible

5 Plague went before Him, and fever followed in His steps.

6 He stood and measured the earth; He looked and startled the nations; the ancient mountains crumbled; the perpetual hills collapsed. His ways are everlasting.

7 I saw the tents of Cushan in distress; the curtains of Midian were trembling.

8 Were You angry at the rivers, O LORD? Was Your wrath against the streams? Did You rage against the sea when You rode on Your horses, on Your chariots of salvation?

9 You brandished Your bow; You called for many arrows. Selah You split the earth with rivers.
