Selah · Bible verse
Habakkuk 1:2
Yahweh, how long will I cry, and you will not hear? I cry out to you “Violence!” and will you not save?
In context
1The oracle which Habakkuk the prophet saw.
2Yahweh, how long will I cry, and you will not hear? I cry out to you “Violence!” and will you not save?
3Why do you show me iniquity, and look at perversity? For destruction and violence are before me. There is strife, and contention rises up.
4Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails; for the wicked surround the righteous; therefore justice comes out perverted.
