Habakkuk 3:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 [a]For his iniquity I saw the tents of Cushan, and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
8 Was the Lord angry against the [b]rivers? or was thine anger against the floods? or was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride [c]upon thine horses? thy chariots brought salvation.
9 Thy [d]bow was manifestly revealed, and the [e]oaths of the tribes were a sure word, Selah, thou [f]didst cleave the earth with rivers.
