Habakkuk 1:1-4; 2:1-4
1The oracle which Habakkuk the prophet saw.
2Yahweh, how long will I cry, and you will not hear? I cry out to you "Violence!" and will you not save?
3Why do you show me iniquity, and look at perversity? For destruction and violence are before me. There is strife, and contention rises up.
4Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth; for the wicked surround the righteous; therefore justice goes forth perverted.
