HABAKKUK 1

Habakkuk’s first complaint

2 I said, "Yahweh, how long must I continue to call to you for help

before you respond?

I cry out to you for help, saying that people are acting violently everywhere,

but you do not rescue us!

3 ◄Must I/I do not want to► continue seeing people doing what is unjust [RHQ].

Why do you not punish people who are doing what is wrong [RHQ]?

I see people destroying things and acting violently.

There is fighting and quarreling everywhere.
