Habakkuk 1:3-5
New American Standard Bible 1995

3 Why do You make me (A)see iniquity,
And cause me to look on wickedness?
Yes, (B)destruction and violence are before me;
(C)Strife exists and contention arises.
4 Therefore the (D)law is [a]ignored
And justice [b]is never upheld.
For the wicked (E)surround the righteous;
Therefore justice comes out (F)perverted.

5 “(G)Look among the nations! Observe!
Be astonished! (H)Wonder!
Because I am doing (I)something in your days—
You would not believe if [c]you were told.
