Habakkuk 1:3-5
Evangelical Heritage Version

3 Why do you cause me to see injustice?
    Why do you overlook misery?
    Devastation and violence confront me.
    There is strife, and tensions rise.
4 For this reason the law has become powerless.[a]
    Justice is never carried out.
    In fact, the wicked overwhelm the righteous
    so that justice is perverted.

The Lord Answers

5 Look at the nations and pay attention! Be completely dumbfounded, because I will do something in your lifetime that you will not believe, even though you are warned ahead of time.
