Habakkuk 1:2–3

HABAKKUK’S FIRST PRAYER

2 How long,c Lord, must I call for helpd

and you do not listen

or cry out to you about violencee

and you do not save?

3 Why do you force me to look at injustice?f

Why do you tolerate* wrongdoing?

Oppression and violence are right in front of me.

Strife is ongoing, and conflict escalates.
