Habakkuk 1:2-4

The Voice

² How long must I cry, O Eternal One,
    and get no answer from You?
Even when I yell to You, “Violence is all around!”
    You do nothing to save those in distress.
³ Why do You force me to see these atrocities?
    Why do You make me watch such wickedness?
Disaster and violence, conflict and controversy are raging all around me.
⁴ Your law is powerless to stop this; injustice prevails.
    The depraved surround the innocent, and justice is perverted.
