Habakkuk 1:1-4 - Habakkuk's Complaint
1 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet saw.
2 O Jehovah, until when shall I cry and You will not hear? I cry out to You of violence, and You do not save! 3 Why do You show me evil, and You look on toil? For destruction and violence are before me; and there is strife, and contention rises up. 4 Therefore the law has become helpless, and justice does not always go forth. For the wicked entraps the righteous; therefore justice goes forth, being perverted.
