Habakkuk 1:1-3

Revised Geneva Translation

1 The burden which Habakkuk the Prophet saw:

² O LORD, how long shall I cry, and you will not hear, cry out to You for violence, and You will not help?

³ Why do You show me iniquity and cause me to behold sorrow? For plundering and violence are before me. And there are those who raise strife and contention.
