Habakkuk’s Complaint
2 How long, Lord, must I call for help,
but you do not listen?
Or cry out to you, "Violence!"
but you do not save?
2 How long, Lord, must I call for help,
but you do not listen?
Or cry out to you, "Violence!"
but you do not save?
2 O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!
2 O Lord, Ps. 13:1;89:46how long shall I cry for help,
and you will not hear?
Or cry to you Mic. 6:12"Violence!"
and you will not save?
2 How long, O Lord, must I call for help?
But you do not listen!
"Violence is everywhere!" I cry,
but you do not come to save.
2 O Lord, how long shall I cry,
Lam. 3:8And You will not hear?
Even cry out to You, Mic. 2:1, 2; 3:1–3"Violence!"
And You will (Job 21:5–16)not save.
2 How long, Lord, have I called for help,
And You do not hear?
I cry out to You, "Violence!"
Yet You do not save.
2 How long, 1:2 Ps 4:2; 6:3; 13:1Lord, must I call for help 1:2 Jb 19:7; Ps 5:2; Lm 3:8
and you do not listen
or cry out to you about violence 1:2 Jr 6:7; Ezk 7:11,23; 8:17; 12:19; 45:9; Mc 6:12; Hab 1:9; 2:8,17
and you do not save?
2 How long, O Lord, shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear? shall I cry out to thee suffering violence, and thou wilt not save?
1-4 The problem as God gave Habakkuk to see it:
God, how long do I have to cry out for help
before you listen?
How many times do I have to yell, "Help! Murder! Police!"
before you come to the rescue?
Why do you force me to look at evil,
stare trouble in the face day after day?
Anarchy and violence break out,
quarrels and fights all over the place.
Law and order fall to pieces.
Justice is a joke.
The wicked have the righteous hamstrung
and stand justice on its head.
