00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,280
Habakkuk Chapter 1 The Oracle 
that Habakkuk the prophet saw 

2
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,880
Habakkuk's complaint. 
Oh Lord, how long shall I cry 

3
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,760
for help? 
And you will not hear or cry to 

4
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:17,960
you violence, and you will not 
save. 

5
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,000
Why do you make me see iniquity?
And why do you idly look at 

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,160
wrong? 
Destruction and violence are 

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,680
before me. 
Strife and contention arise, so 

8
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,720
the law is paralyzed, and 
justice never go forth, for the 

9
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:36,000
wicked surround the righteous, 
so justice goes forth perverted.

10
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,840
The Lord's answer. 
Look among the nations and see, 

11
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,240
wander and be astounded. 
For I am doing a work in your 

12
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,320
days that you would not believe 
if told. 

13
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,200
For behold, I am raising up the 
Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty

14
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,560
nation who marched through the 
breath of the earth to seize 

15
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,360
dwellings not their own. 
They are dreaded and fearsome. 

16
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,520
Their justice and dignity go 
forth from themselves. 

17
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,040
Their horses are swifter than 
leopards, more fierce than the 

18
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,560
evening wolves. 
Their horsemen pressed proudly 

19
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,840
on. 
Their horsemen come from afar. 

20
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,320
They fly like an eagle swift to 
devour. 

21
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,360
They all come for violence, all 
their faces forward they gather 

22
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,840
captives like sand. 
At kings they scoff, and at 

23
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,160
rulers they laugh. 
They laugh at every fortress, 

24
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,320
for they pile up earth and take 
it. 

25
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,080
Then they sweep by like the wind
and go on. 

26
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,320
Guilty men whose own might is 
their own God. 

27
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,640
Habakkuk's second complaint. 
Are you not from everlasting, O 

28
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,480
Lord? 
My God, my holy one, we shall 

29
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,320
not die. 
O Lord, you have ordained them 

30
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:47,240
as a judgement, and you, O Rock,
have established them for 

31
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,480
reproof. 
You who are of purer eyes than 

32
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,160
to see evil and cannot look at 
wrong, why do you idly look at 

33
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,200
traitors and remain silent when 
the wicked swallows up the man 

34
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,600
more righteous than he? 
You make mankind like the fish 

35
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,400
of the sea, like crawling things
that have no ruler. 

36
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,880
He brings all of them up with a 
hook. 

37
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,000
He drags them out with his net, 
He gathers them in his dragnet. 

38
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,640
So he rejoices and is glad. 
Therefore he sacrifices to his 

39
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:20,200
net and makes offerings to his 
dragnet, for by them he lives in

40
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,240
luxury and his food is rich. 
Is he then to keep on emptying 

41
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,400
his net and mercilessly killing 
nations forever? 

42
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:35,400
Habakkuk Chapter 2. 
I will stand my stand at my 

43
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,040
watch post, and station myself 
on the tower, and look out to 

44
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,840
see what he will say to me, and 
what I will answer concerning my

45
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,080
complaint. 
The righteous shall live by his 

46
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,200
faith. 
And the Lord answered me. 

47
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,880
Write the vision, Make it plain 
on tablets so he may run who 

48
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,400
reads it. 
For still the vision awaits its 

49
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,840
appoint in time and hastens to 
the end. 

50
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,240
It will not lie. 
If it seems slow, wait for it. 

51
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,680
It will surely come and will not
delay. 

52
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,520
Behold, his soul is puffed up. 
It is not upright within him, 

53
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:11,320
but the righteous shall live by 
his faith. 

54
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,400
Moreover, Wine is a traitor, an 
arrogant man who is never at 

55
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,840
rest. 
His greed is as wide as she'll 

56
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:20,160
like death. 
He has never enough. 

57
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,280
He gathers for himself all 
nations, and collects as his own

58
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:29,480
all peoples. 
Woe to the Chaldeans shall not 

59
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,560
all these take up their taunt 
against him with scoffing and 

60
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,120
riddles for him, and say, woe to
him who heaps up what is not his

61
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,640
own for how long, and loads 
himself with pledges. 

62
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,840
Will not your debtors suddenly 
arise, and those awake who will 

63
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,720
make you tremble? 
Then you will be spoiled for 

64
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,080
them, because you have plundered
many nations. 

65
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,480
All the remnant of the people 
shall plunder you for the blood 

66
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,360
of man, and violence to the 
earth, to cities and all who 

67
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,680
dwell in them. 
Woe to him who gets evil gain 

68
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:03,040
for his house, to set his nest 
on high, to be safe from the 

69
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,080
reach of harm, who has devised 
shame for your house. 

70
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,600
By cutting off many peoples you 
have fortified your life. 

71
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,800
For the stone will cry out from 
the wall, and the beam from the 

72
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,760
woodwork respond. 
Woe to him who built a town with

73
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,880
blood, and founds a city on 
iniquity. 

74
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,000
Behold, is it not from the Lord 
of hosts that peoples labor 

75
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,600
merely for fire, and nations 
weary themselves for nothing? 

76
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,760
For the earth will be filled in 
the knowledge of the glory of 

77
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,200
the Lord, as the waters cover 
the sea. 

78
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,640
Woe to him who makes his 
neighbors drink. 

79
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,880
You pour out your wrath and make
them drunk in order to gaze at 

80
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,920
their nakedness. 
You will have your fill of shame

81
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,560
instead of glory. 
Drink yourself and show your 

82
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,800
uncircumcision. 
The cup in the Lord's right hand

83
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,040
will come around to you, and 
utter shame will come upon your 

84
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,680
glory. 
The violence done to Lebanon 

85
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,760
will overwhelm you, as will the 
destruction of the beast that 

86
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,280
terrified them for the blood of 
man and violence to the earth, 

87
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,240
to cities and all who dwell in 
them. 

88
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,840
What prophet is an idol when its
maker has shaped it? 

89
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,400
A metal image, a teacher of lies
for its maker trust in his own 

90
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,160
creation. 
When he makes speechless idols, 

91
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,760
woe to him who says to a wooden 
thing awake, to a silent stone, 

92
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:23,000
Arise can this teach. 
Behold, it is overlaid with gold

93
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,200
and silver, and there is no 
breath at all in it. 

94
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,800
But the Lord is in His holy 
temple. 

95
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,400
Let all the earth keep silence 
before him. 

96
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:40,000
Habakkuk Chapter 3 Habakkuk's 
prayer A prayer of Habakkuk the 

97
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,200
Prophet according to Shigunath. 
O Lord, I have heard the report 

98
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,960
of you and your work. 
O Lord, do I fear. 

99
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,320
In the midst of the years revive
it. 

100
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,320
In the midst of the years make 
it known. 

101
00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:54,720
And wrath. 
Remember mercy. 

102
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,040
God came from Tamon and the Holy
One from Mount Piron. 

103
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,920
Selah. 
His splendor covered the 

104
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,640
heavens, and the earth was full 
of His praise. 

105
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,960
His brightness was like the 
light rays flash from His hand, 

106
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,920
and there He veiled His power. 
Before him went pestilence, and 

107
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,160
plague followed at His heels. 
He stood and measured the earth.

108
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,760
He looked and shook the nations.
Then the eternal mountains were 

109
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,080
scattered. 
The everlasting hills sank low. 

110
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,520
His were the everlasting ways. 
I saw the tents of Kushan and 

111
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,840
affliction. 
The curtains of the land of 

112
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:33,080
Midian did tremble. 
Was your wrath against the 

113
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,360
rivers, O Lord? 
Was your anger against the 

114
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,080
rivers, or your indignation 
against the sea? 

115
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,640
When you rode on your horses, on
your chariot of salvation, you 

116
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,040
stripped the sheath from your 
bow, calling for many arrows. 

117
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,240
Salah, you split the earth with 
rivers. 

118
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,400
The mountains saw you and 
writhed. 

119
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,360
The raging waters swept on, the 
deep gave forth its voice, It 

120
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,320
lifted its hands on high. 
The sun and moon stood still in 

121
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,040
their place. 
At the light of your arrows, as 

122
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,600
they speed at the flash of your 
glittering spear, you marched 

123
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,200
through the earth in fury you 
thresh the nations in anger. 

124
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,360
You went out for the salvation 
of your people, for the 

125
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,480
salvation of your anointed. 
You crushed the head of the 

126
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,960
House of the wicked, laying him 
bare from thigh to neck. 

127
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,200
Sela you pierced with his own 
arrows the head of his warriors,

128
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,240
who came like a whirlwind to 
scatter me, rejoicing as if to 

129
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,440
devour the poor in secret, you 
trampled to see with your horses

130
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,240
the surging of mighty waters. 
I hear, and my body trembles, My

131
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,280
lips quiver at the sound. 
Rottenness enters my bones, my 

132
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,920
legs tremble beneath me. 
Yet I will quietly wait for the 

133
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,960
day of trouble to come upon 
people who invade us. 

134
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,960
Habakkuk rejoices in the Lord. 
Though the fig tree should not 

135
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,560
blossom, nor fruit beyond the 
vines, the produce of the olive 

136
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,680
fail in the fields, yield no 
food, the flock be cut off from 

137
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,760
the fold, and there be no herd 
in the stalls. 

138
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,160
Yet I will rejoice in the Lord. 
I will take joy in the God of my

139
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,800
salvation. 
God the Lord is my strength. 

140
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,280
He makes my feet like the deers.
He makes me tread on my high 

141
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,560
places to the choir master with 
stringed instruments. 

142
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,400
Titus chapter 2 teach sound 
doctrine. 

143
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,440
But As for you, teach what 
accords with sound doctrine. 

144
00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:38,360
Older men are to be sober 
minded, dignified, self 

145
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,080
controlled, sound in faith, in 
love and in steadfastness. 

146
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,840
Older women likewise are to be 
reverent in behavior, not 

147
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,880
slanderers or slaves to much 
wine. 

148
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,520
They are to teach what is good 
and so train the young women to 

149
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,720
love their husbands and 
children, to be self controlled,

150
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,840
pure, working at home, kind and 
submissive to their own husbands

151
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,480
that the word of God may not be 
reviled. 

152
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,760
Likewise urge the younger men to
be self controlled. 

153
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,840
Show yourself in all respects to
be a model of good works, and in

154
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:15,120
your teaching show integrity, 
dignity, and sound speech that 

155
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,000
cannot be commended, so that an 
opponent may be put to shame, 

156
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,280
having nothing evil to say about
us. 

157
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,400
Bond servants are to be 
submissive to their own masters 

158
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,000
in everything. 
They are to be well pleasing, 

159
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,120
not argumentative, not 
pilfering, but showing all good 

160
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,760
faith, so that in everything 
they may adorn the doctrine of 

161
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,720
God our Savior. 
For the grace of God has 

162
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,560
appeared, bringing salvation for
all people, training us to 

163
00:09:41,560 --> 00:09:45,120
renounce ungodliness and worldly
passions, and to live self 

164
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,040
controlled, upright and godly 
lives in the present age, 

165
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,880
waiting for our blessed hope, 
The appearing of the glory of 

166
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,120
our great God and Savior Jesus 
Christ, who gave Himself for us 

167
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,520
to redeem us from all 
lawlessness, and to purify for 

168
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,480
Himself a people for His own 
possession, who are zealous for 

169
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,760
good works. 
Declare these things, exhort and

170
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,360
rebuke with all authority. 
Let no one disregard you. 

171
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,760
Proverbs chapter 10, verses 11 
through 20. 

172
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,200
The mouth of the righteous is a 
fountain of life, but the mouth 

173
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,960
of the wicked conceals violence.
Hatred stirs up strife, but love

174
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,240
covers all offenses. 
On the lips of him who has 

175
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,440
understanding wisdom is found, 
but a rod is for the back of him

176
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,120
who lacks sense. 
The wise lay up knowledge, but 

177
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,360
the mouth of a fool brings ruin.
Near a rich man's wealth is a 

178
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,520
strong city. 
The poverty of the poor is their

179
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,960
ruin. 
The wage of the righteous leads 

180
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,840
to life, the gain of the wicked 
to sin. 

181
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,040
Whoever heeds instruction is on 
the path to life, but he who 

182
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,720
rejects reproof leads others 
astray. 

183
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,240
The one who conceals hatred has 
lying lips, and whoever utters 

184
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,880
slander is a fool. 
When words are many, 

185
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,720
transgression is not lacking, 
but whoever restrains his lips 

186
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,600
is prudent. 
The tongue of the righteous is 

187
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,200
choice. 
Silver, the heart of the wicked 

188
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:15,440
is of little worth.
