1 The1 burden which the prophet Habakkuk saw.
The Prophet’s Question
2 O Lord, how long shall I cry,
aAnd You will not hear?
Even cry out to You, b“Violence!”
And You will cnot save.
aAnd You will not hear?
Even cry out to You, b“Violence!”
And You will cnot save.
3 Why do You show me iniquity,
And cause me to see1 trouble?
For plundering and violence are before me;
There is strife, and contention arises.
And cause me to see1 trouble?
For plundering and violence are before me;
There is strife, and contention arises.
4 Therefore the law is powerless,
And justice never goes forth.
For the awicked surround the righteous;
Therefore perverse judgment proceeds.
And justice never goes forth.
For the awicked surround the righteous;
Therefore perverse judgment proceeds.
