Habakkuk 1:4-6
Holman Christian Standard Bible
4 This is why the law is ineffective
and justice never emerges.
For the wicked restrict(A) the righteous;
therefore, justice(B) comes out perverted.
God’s First Answer
5 Look at the nations[a](C) and observe(D)—
be utterly astounded!(E)
For something is taking place in your days
that you will not believe(F)
when you hear about it.(G)
6 Look! I am raising up(H) the Chaldeans,[b]
that bitter,(I) impetuous nation
that marches across the earth’s open spaces
to seize territories not its own.
