Habakkuk 1:3-5

International Children’s Bible

³ Why do you let me see wrong things?
    Why do you put up with evil?
People are destroying things and hurting others while I am looking.
    They are arguing and fighting.
⁴ People are not forced to obey the teachings.
    No one receives a fair trial.
Evil people gain while good people lose.
    The judges no longer make fair decisions.

⁵ “You and your people, look at the nations!
    Watch them and be amazed.
I will do something in your lifetime that will amaze you.
    You won’t believe it even when you are told about it.
