Habakkuk 1:2-4

¶How long, LORD, have I called for help, And You do not hear? I cry out to You, “Violence!” Yet You do not save. Why do You make me see disaster, And make me look at destitution? Yes, devastation and violence are before me; Strife exists and contention arises. Therefore the Law is ignored, And justice is never upheld. For the wicked surround the righteous; Therefore justice comes out confused.
