Habakkuk 3:3-7
New International Version
3 God came from Teman,(A)
the Holy One(B) from Mount Paran.[a](C)
His glory covered the heavens(D)
and his praise filled the earth.(E)
4 His splendor was like the sunrise;(F)
rays flashed from his hand,
where his power(G) was hidden.
5 Plague(H) went before him;
pestilence followed his steps.
6 He stood, and shook the earth;
he looked, and made the nations tremble.
The ancient mountains crumbled(I)
and the age-old hills(J) collapsed(K)—
but he marches on forever.(L)
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in distress,
the dwellings of Midian(M) in anguish.(N)

New King James Version
3 God came from Teman,
The Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah
His glory covered the heavens,
And the earth was full of His praise.
4 His brightness was like the light;
He had rays flashing from His hand,
And there His power was hidden.
5 Before Him went pestilence,
And fever followed at His feet.
6 He stood and measured the earth;
He looked and startled the nations.
(A)And the everlasting mountains were scattered,
The perpetual hills bowed.
His ways are everlasting.
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction;
The curtains of the land of Midian trembled.

3 God comes from (A)Teman,
And the Holy One from Mount (B)Paran. Selah

He has rays flashing from His hand,
And the hiding of His (F)might is there.

And (H)plague comes forth [a]after Him.

The ancient hills [b]collapsed.
His paths are (J)everlasting.

The tent curtains of the land of (L)Midian were trembling.
