\v 15 Yahweh also says this: \q1 "Women were weeping in Ramah, on the border between Israel and Judah;
\q2 they were mourning and crying very loudly.
\q1 The women who descended from Rachel the wife of Jacob were weeping about their children, \q2 and no one could comfort them
\q2 because their children were all dead.

\v 18 But listen! I will cause you to be strong, like a city that has strong walls around it. You will be as strong as an iron pillar or a bronze wall. All the people in the land of Judah—including the kings, the royal officials, and the priests—will not be able to defeat you.

\s2 Yahweh replied to me
\q1
\v 5 "This is happening, but look around at what is happening in the other nations. \q2 If you look, you will be amazed, and even astonished, since I am doing something \q1 during this time that you would never have believed would happen, \q2 even if someone told you about it.

\s2 Habakkuk asks Yahweh another question
\q
\v 12 "Are you not from ancient times, Yahweh my God, my Holy One? We will not die. \q Yahweh has ordained them for judgment, and you, Rock, have established them for correction.

Thanks to Bob Johnson for setting this one up.
