Habakkuk 3:13 Context
11The Sunne and Moone stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrowes they went, and at the shining of thy glittering speare. 12Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger. 13Thou wentest forth for the saluation of thy people, euen for saluation with thine Anointed, thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discouering the foundation vnto the necke. Selah. 14Thou didst strike through with his staues the head of his villages: they came out as a whirle-winde to scatter me: their reioycing was as to deuoure the poore secretly. 15Thou didst walke through the Sea with thine horses, through the heape of great waters.
