Habakkuk 1:3-5

American Standard Version

³ Why dost thou show me iniquity, and ^[a]look upon perverseness? for destruction and violence are before me; and there is strife, and contention riseth up. ⁴ Therefore the law is slacked, and justice ^[b]doth never go forth; for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore justice goeth forth perverted.

⁵ Behold ye among the nations, and look, and wonder marvellously; for ^[c]I am working a work in your days, which ye will not believe though it be told you.
