Habakkuk 1:1-3
English Standard Version

1 (A)The oracle that Habakkuk the prophet saw.

Habakkuk's Complaint

2 O Lord, (B)how long shall I cry for help,
    and you will not hear?
Or cry to you (C)“Violence!”
    and you will not save?
3 (D)Why do you make me see iniquity,
    and why do you idly look at wrong?
Destruction (E)and violence are before me;
    strife and contention arise.
