Habakkuk 1:3-4
New International Version
Habakkuk 1:3-4
English Standard Version
3 (A)Why do you make me see iniquity,
and why do you idly look at wrong?
Destruction (B)and violence are before me;
strife and contention arise.
4 (C)So the law is paralyzed,
and justice never goes forth.
(D)For the wicked surround the righteous;
so justice goes forth perverted.
Habakkuk 1:3-4
New King James Version
3 Why do You show me iniquity,
And cause me to see [a]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 (A)wicked surround the righteous;
Therefore perverse judgment proceeds.
