Habakkuk 1:2-4

New Century Version

² Lord, how long must I ask for help
    and you ignore me?
I cry out to you about violence,
    but you do not save us!
³ Why do you make me see wrong things
    and make me look at trouble?
People are destroying things and hurting others in front of me;
    they are arguing and fighting.
⁴ So the teachings are weak,
    and justice never comes.
Evil people gain while good people lose;
    the judges no longer make fair decisions.
