Habakkuk 1:2


← Habakkuk 1:1 Habakkuk 1:2 (KJV) Habakkuk 1:3 →
The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!
Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.
