The burden which Chabakook the navi did see.
2 O vuvh, how long shall I cry, and You will not hear!
Even cry out to You because of violence, and You will
not save!
3 Why do You show me iniquity, and cause me to behold
perversity? For ruin and violence are before me: and there
are strife and contention that arise.
4 Therefore the Torah is slack, and mishpat does not go
forth: for the wicked do enclose around the tzadikim;
therefore wrong rulings go forth.
5 See among the heathen nations, and regard, and wonder
marvelously: for I will work a work in your days, which
you will not believe, though it is told you. 3231
6 For, see, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty
nation, who shall march through the breadth of eretz
Yisrael, to possess the dwelling places that are not theirs.
7 They are frightening and dreadful: their rulings and
their dignity shall proceed from themselves.
8 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are
fiercer than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall
spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from
far; they shall fly as the eagle that runs to eat.
9 They shall come all for violence: their faces are like the
east wind, and they shall gather the captives as the sand.
10 And they shall scoff at the melechim, and the rulers
shall be a scorn to them: they shall deride every
stronghold; for they shall seize territory, and take it.
11 Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass on as a
wind, and his army shall be found guilty before his
mighty one.
12 Are You not from everlasting, O vuvh my Elohim, my
Kadosh-One? We shall not die. O vuvh, You have
ordained them for mishpat; and, O mighty Elohim, You
have established them for correction.
13 You are of purer eyes than to behold evil, and cannot
look on iniquity: why do You look upon them that act
treacherously, and hold Your tongue when the wicked
devours the man that is more tzadik than he?
14 And make men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping
things, that have no ruler over them? 3232
15 They take up all of them with the angle, they catch
them in their net, and gather them in their dragnet:
therefore they have simcha and gilah.
16 Therefore they offer sacrifice to their net, and burn
incense to their dragnet; because by them their portion is
fat, and their food made plenty.
17 Why do they empty their net continually, and do not
spare to slay the nations without rachamim?
I will stand upon my watch, and station myself upon
the tower, and will watch to see what He will say to me,
and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
2 And vuvh answered me, and said, Write the vision, and
make it plain upon tablets, that he may run that reads it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, it shall
speak in the end, and not lie: though it lingers, wait for it;
because it will surely come, it will not delay.
4 See, the being who is puffed up is not upright: but the
just shall live by his emunah. 3233

5 Yes also, because he transgresses by wine, he is a proud
man, neither stays at home, who enlarges his desires as
Sheol, and is like death, and cannot be satisfied, but
gathers to himself all nations, and heaps to himself all
peoples:
6 Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a
taunting mishle against him, and say, Woe to him that
increases that which is not his! How long? And to him
that loads himself with earthly goods!
7 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite you, and
awake that shall trouble you, and you shall be for plunder
to them?
8 Because you have spoiled many nations, all the remnant
of the people shall spoil you; because of men’s dahm, and
for the violence against eretz Yisrael, and against the city,
and of all that dwell there.
9 Woe to him that covets an evil gain for his bayit, that he
may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from
the power of evil!
10 You have consulted shame to your bayit by cutting off
many peoples, and have sinned against your being.
11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam
out of the timber shall answer it.
12 Woe to him that builds a town with dahm, and
establishes a city by iniquity!
13 See, is it not of vuvh tzevaoth that the nations shall
labor only for fire, and the nations shall weary themselves
for nothing?
14 For the earth shall be filled with the da’at of the
tifereth of vuvh, as the mayim covers the sea. 3234
15 Woe to him that gives his neighbor drink, that pours
from your wineskin to him, and makes him drunk also,
that you may look on their nakedness!
16 You are filled with shame for tifereth: drink also, and
be exposed as uncircumcised: the cup of vuvh’s Right
Hand 3235 shall be turned to you, and shame shall be on
your tifereth.
17 For the violence of Levanon shall cover you, and the
plunder of beasts, which made them afraid, because of
men’s dahm, and for your violence against eretz Yisrael,
and the city, and of all that dwell in it.
18 What profit is the carved image to the maker who has
carved it; a molten image, and a teacher of lies that the
maker of its work trusts in what he has made, to make
dumb idols?
19 Woe to him that says to the wood, Awake; to the dumb
stone, Arise, it shall teach! See, it is laid over with gold
and silver, and there is no breath at all inside it.
20 But vuvh is in His kodesh Hekal: let all the earth keep
silent before Him.

A tefillah of Chabakook the navi for erroneous
utterances.
2 O vuvh, I have heard Your speech, and was afraid: O
vuvh, revive Your work in the midst of the years, in the
midst of the years make known; in anger remember
rachamim.
