Habakkuk 1:1-3

Tree of Life Version

² How long, Adonai, have I cried for help,
    yet You do not hear?
I cry out to You—‘Violence!’
    yet You do not deliver.
³ Why do You show me wickedness,
and why must I behold mischief?
Yes, devastation and violence are before me.
There is strife, and contention arises.
