Habakkuk 1:3-5
English Standard Version Anglicised
3 (A)Why do you make me see iniquity,
and why do you idly look at wrong?
Destruction (B)and violence are before me;
strife and contention arise.
4 (C)So the law is paralysed,
and justice never goes forth.
(D)For the wicked surround the righteous;
so justice goes forth perverted.
The Lord's Answer
5 (E)“Look among the nations, and see;
wonder and be astounded.
(F)For I am doing a work in your days
that you would not believe if told.
Habakkuk 1:3-5
New International Version
3 Why do you make me look at injustice?
Why do you tolerate(A) wrongdoing?(B)
Destruction and violence(C) are before me;
there is strife,(D) and conflict abounds.
4 Therefore the law(E) is paralyzed,
and justice never prevails.
The wicked hem in the righteous,
so that justice(F) is perverted.(G)
