2 Habakkuk’s Complaint O Lord, how long shall I cry, and You will not hear? Or cry to You, “Violence!” and You will not save?

3 Why do You make me see wickedness, and cause me to see trouble? Plundering and violence are before me; strife and contention arise.

4 Therefore the law is powerless, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous; therefore injustice proceeds.
