Habakkuk’s Complaint

2 O Lord, phow long shall I cry for help,
and you will not hear?
Or cry to you qViolence!”
and you will not save?
3 rWhy do you make me see iniquity,
and why do you idly look at wrong?
Destruction sand violence are before me;
strife and contention arise.

and cannot look at wrong,
uwhy do you idly look at traitors
and vremain silent when the wicked swallows up
the man more righteous than he?
