Habakkuk 1:2-4 - Habakkuk's First Prayer
2 O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear? How long shall I complain unto thee, suffering wrong, and thou wilt not help? 3 Why lettest thou me see weariness and labour? Tyranny and violence are before me, power overgoeth right: 4 for the law is torn in pieces, and there can no right judgment go forth. And why? The ungodly is more set by than the righteous: this is the cause that wrong judgment proceedeth.
