Habakkuk 1:1-4 - Habakkuk's Complaint
1 This is the message Jehovah revealed to Habakkuk the prophet:
2 How long, O Jehovah (YHWH), will I call for help and you do not hear? I cry out to you, save me from violence! And yet you do not save. 3 Why do you make me see wickedness and immorality? Destruction and violence are before me. Strife exists and contention arises. 4 The law is paralyzed and justice is never delivered. The wicked surround the righteous and deliver perverted justice.
