Habakkuk 3:7 Context
5Before him went the pestilence, and burning coales went forth at his feete. 6He stood and measured the earth: hee beheld and droue asunder the nations, and the euerlasting mountaines were scattered, the perpetuall hilles did bowe: his wayes are euerlasting. 7I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtaines of the land of Midian did tremble. 8Was the Lord displeased against the riuers? was thine anger against the riuers? was thy wrath against the Sea, that thou didst ride vpon thine horses, and thy charets of saluation? 9Thy bow was made quite naked according to the oathes of the tribes, euen thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleaue the earth with riuers.
