The Book of Habakkuk, Chapter 2חבקוק 2

Each verse opens with the running Hebrew, an English translation, and a discourse note (its connective, relation, and role in the argument). Below follows the word-by-word breakdown in six tiers: gloss, case/state or parsing, syntax, semantic force, and a lexical note.

Case Nominative Genitive Dative Accusative Vocative Verb (no case) Indeclinable

Discourse notes head each verse: relation · connective · clause-flow. Indentation marks prominence — flush-left = main line of argument; indented = supporting / subordinate material.

Theme

Habakkuk 2 (20 verses in the MT) opens: I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say to me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. The middle of the chapter continues: For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it. It closes: But YHWH in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.

Translation & textual notes

The Hebrew base text here follows the Masoretic Text in the Leningrad tradition as represented by the Westminster Leningrad Codex / MorphHB diplomatic stream imported from OSHB; distinctively copyrighted apparatus from BHS or BHQ is not reproduced. Habakkuk 2 comprises 20 verses in MT order. Movement I (vv. 1-4) — I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to. I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say to me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And YHWH answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry,. Movement II (vv. 5-8) — Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, a proud man, neither keepeth. Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth to him all nations, and heapeth to him all people: Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth not his! how. Movement III (vv. 9-12) — Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may. Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil! You have consulted shame to your house by cutting off many people, and have sinned your soul. For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it. Woe to him that buildeth a town. Movement IV (vv. 13-16) — Behold, not of YHWH of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fi. Behold, not of YHWH of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity? For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of YHWH, as the waters cover the sea. Woe to him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest your bottle to , and makest drunken also, that you mayest look on their. Movement V (vv. 17-20) — For the violence of Lebanon shall cover you, and the spoil of beasts, ma. For the violence of Lebanon shall cover you, and the spoil of beasts, made them afraid, because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein. What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof has graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb. Where English printed Bibles divide verses differently, this annotation follows MT versification throughout.
