Habakkuk 1:1 - Habakkuk 1:4
The Oracle to Habakkuk: Habakkuk's Complaints, Chaldeans Used to Punish Judah
1
The revelation which Habakkuk the prophet saw.
2
The LORD , how long will I cry, and you will not hear? I cry out to you "Violence!" and will you not save?
3
Why do you show me iniquity, and look at perversity? For destruction and violence are before me. There is strife, and contention rises up.
4
Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails; for the wicked surround the righteous; therefore justice comes out perverted.
