Habakkuk 1:1-3

Lexham English Bible

1 The oracle that Habakkuk the prophet saw.
² O Yahweh, how long shall I cry for help
    and you will not listen?
How long will I cry out to you, “Violence!”
    and you will not save?
³ Why do you cause me to see evil
    while you look at trouble?
Destruction and violence happen before me;
    contention and strife arise.
