Habbakuk – Part 2

June 20, 2021

Habbakuk 1:1-4

1 The oracle that Habakkuk the prophet saw.

Habakkuk’s Complaint

2 O LORD, how long shall I cry for help,
and you will not hear?

Or cry to you “Violence!”
and you will not save?

3 Why do you make me see iniquity,
and why do you idly look at wrong?

Destruction and violence are before me;
strife and contention arise.

4 So the law is paralyzed,
and justice never goes forth.

For the wicked surround the righteous;
so justice goes forth perverted.
