Priljubljene svetopisemske vrstice iz Habakkuk 1

Deli

“Look at the nations and pay attention! You will be shocked and amazed! For I will do something in your lifetime that you will not believe even though you are forewarned.

How long, LORD, must I cry for help? But you do not listen! I call out to you, “Violence!” But you do not intervene!

Why do you force me to witness injustice? Why do you put up with wrongdoing? Destruction and violence confront me; conflict is present and one must endure strife.

For this reason the law lacks power, and justice is never carried out. Indeed, the wicked intimidate the innocent. For this reason justice is perverted.
