New Testament

Habakkuk 3:10-18 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

10. The mountains saw you and shook with fear.The rushing water flowed by.The sea made a loud noise,and its waves rose high.

11. The sun and moon stood still in the sky.They stopped when they saw the flash of your flying arrows.They stopped when they saw the gleam of your shining spear.

12. In anger you marched on the earth.In anger you punished the nations.

13. You came to save your people.You came to save your chosen one.You crushed the leader of the wicked ones.You took everything away from them. Selah

14. With the enemy’s own spear you stabbed the leader of his army.His soldiers rushed out like a storm to scatter us.They were happy as ifthey were robbing the poor people in secret.

15. But you marched through the sea with your horses,stirring the great waters.

16. I hear these things, and my body trembles.My lips tremble when I hear the sound.My bones feel weak.My legs shake.But I will wait patiently for the day of disaster.That day is coming to the people who attack us.

17. Fig trees may not grow figs.There may be no grapes on the vines.There may be no olives growing on the trees.There may be no food growing in the fields.There may be no sheep in the pens.There may be no cattle in the barns.

18. But I will still be glad in the Lord.I will rejoice in God my Savior.
