Habakkuk's Complaint
Habakkuk 1:1-4
1
This is the burden that Habakkuk the prophet received in a vision:
2
How long, O LORD, must I call for help but You do not hear, or cry out to You, “Violence!” but You do not save?
3
Why do You make me see iniquity? Why do You tolerate wrongdoing? Destruction and violence are before me. Strife is ongoing, and conflict abounds.
4
Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted.
