The Prophet's Cry for Justice

Habakkuk 1:1-4

1
Chapter 1
1 The oracle, the burden that Habakkuk the prophet saw. 2 How long, O LORD—will I cry for help, and you do not hear? I cry out to you about violence, and you do not save. 3 Why do you show me iniquity and look upon toil? Oppression and violence are before me, and there is strife and contention that arises. 4 Therefore the Torah grows limp, and justice does not go forth to the eternal, because the wicked surrounds the Righteous; therefore justice goes forth twisted.
