← Habakkuk 3:12	Habakkuk 3:13 (KJV)	Habakkuk 3:14 →
Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger.	Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, [even] for salvation with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah.	Thou didst strike through with his staves the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing [was] as to devour the poor secretly.
