Habakkuk's Complaint
Habakkuk 1:1-4
1
This is the prophecy which Havakuk the prophet saw:
2
ADONAI, how long must I cry without your hearing? "Violence!" I cry to you, but you don't save.
3
Why do you make me see wrongdoing, why do you permit oppression? Pillage and cruelty confront me, so that strife and discord prevail.
4
Therefore Torah is not followed; justice never gets rendered, because the wicked fence in the righteous. This is why justice comes out perverted.
