Habakkuk

Habakkuk argues with God about violence, then waits for an answer.

Habakkuk chapter 1

1The revelation which Habakkuk the prophet saw.

2LORD, 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.

Stichos reaches Habakkuk as part of its one-chapter-a-day reading plan through the whole Bible.
