"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.)
