Habakkuk 1:3-5
Holman Christian Standard Bible
3 Why do You force me to look at injustice?(A)
Why do You tolerate[a] wrongdoing?
Oppression and violence are right in front of me.
Strife is ongoing, and conflict escalates.
4 This is why the law is ineffective
and justice never emerges.
For the wicked restrict(B) the righteous;
therefore, justice(C) comes out perverted.
God’s First Answer
5 Look at the nations[b](D) and observe(E)—
be utterly astounded!(F)
For something is taking place in your days
that you will not believe(G)
when you hear about it.(H)
