1:2 Havakkuk’s complaint

2For how long, Yahweh, must I call for help before you listen?

I cry out about the violence, but you haven’t rescued me.

3Why do I have to keep seeing injustice and looking at trouble?

Destruction and violence are all around—there’s such strife, and conflicts keep happening.

4That’s why the law is paralysed and why justice doesn’t prevail

because those who do good are surrounded by wicked people, so justice gets perverted.

2Until when Oh_YHWH have_I_cried_for_help and_not you_will_hear I_cry_out to_you violence and_not you_save.
3To/for_what see_me wickedness and_trouble do_you_look_at and_destruction and_violence at_before_me and_ strife _he/it_was and_contention it_arises.
4On/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so the_law it_grows_numb and_not it_comes_forth to_ever justice if/because the_wicked is_surrounding DOM the_righteous on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so justice it_comes_forth perverted.
