Habakkuk 1:3-4

Christian Standard Bible

³ Why do you force me to look at injustice?^(A)
Why do you tolerate^[a] wrongdoing?
Oppression and violence are right in front of me.
Strife is ongoing, and conflict escalates.
⁴ This is why the law is ineffective
and justice never emerges.
For the wicked restrict^(B) the righteous;
therefore, justice^(C) comes out perverted.
