Habakkuk 1:1-3
Legacy Standard Bible

Habakkuk Calls for Help

1 The [a](A)oracle which Habakkuk the prophet beheld.

2 (B)How long, O [b]Yahweh, will I call for help,
And You will not hear?
I cry out to You, “Violence!”
Yet You do (C)not save.
3 Why do You make me (D)see wickedness
And cause me to look on trouble?
Indeed, (E)devastation and violence are before me;
(F)And there is strife, and contention is lifted up.
