Habakkuk / Question
Question source
Habakkuk
He says destruction and violence are before him, with strife and contention rising. He also states that the law is paralyzed and justice does not go forth because the wicked surround the righteous. This complaint appears in Habakkuk 1:3–4.
3Why do you show me iniquity, and look at perversity? For destruction and violence are before me. There is strife, and contention rises up.
4Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth; for the wicked surround the righteous; therefore justice goes forth perverted.
