Habakkuk 1:1-3

1The prophecy that Habakkuk the prophet received.

Habakkuk’s Complaint 2How long, LORD, must I call for help, but you do not listen? Or cry out to you, “Violence!” but you do not save?

3Why do you make me look at injustice? Why do you tolerate wrongdoing? Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and conflict abounds.
