Habakkuk

1 A complaint against the wicked that persecute the just.

The burden, which Habakkuk the Prophet did see.

O Lord, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee [a]for violence, and thou wilt not help!

Why dost thou show me iniquity, and cause me to behold sorrow? for spoiling, and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.
