Habakkuk 1:1-4

The pronouncement  that the prophet Habakkuk saw.  How long,  LORD, must I call for help  and you do not listen or cry out to you about violence  and you do not save? Why do you force me to look at injustice?  Why do you tolerate   wrongdoing? Oppression and violence are right in front of me. Strife is ongoing, and conflict escalates. This is why the law is ineffective and justice never emerges. For the wicked restrict  the righteous; therefore, justice  comes out perverted.
