Why Do YOU Make Me See Injustice?

"YAHWEH, how long will I cry for help while YOU pay no attention to me?  I denounce the oppression, and YOU do not save.

Why do YOU make me see injustice?

Are YOU pleased to look on tyranny?  All I see is outrage, violence and quarrels.

Then YAHWEH answered me and said,

'Write down the vision, inscribe it on tables so it can be easily read, since this is a vision for an appointed time; it will not fail but will be fulfilled in due time.  If it delays, wait for it, for it will come, and will not be deferred.  Look:

I don't look with favor on the one who gives way; the upright, on the other hand, will live by his faithfulness.'" - Habakkuk 1:2-3; 2:2-4

 

(Two complaints from the prophet and two answers from GOD:

Verses 1-4.  First complaint: Why is there so much wickedness in Judah?

2:1-4.  YAHWEH's answer: One day it will be clear that the good and the evil ones are not treated the same.  Those who remain faithful will be saved.)
