Habakkuk 1:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ You cause me to see many things that are not right.
You do not punish people who are doing wrong things.
    Why do you let that happen?
People do cruel things and there is violence everywhere.
    They argue and they fight and they quarrel.
⁴ The law has no power to make things right.
    There is no justice in the courts.
Instead, wicked people win against good people.
    The judges decide that bad people are good.

⁵ ‘All of you, look carefully at the other nations.
    You will be very surprised at what is happening.
While you are still alive, I will do a very surprising thing.
    You would not believe it even if someone told you.
