Why do you make me look at injustice? Why do you tolerate wrongdoing? Habakkuk

Habakkuk 1:01-17

Why do you make me look at injustice?    Why do you tolerate wrongdoing? Destruction and violence are before me;   there is strife, and conflict abounds. Therefore the law is paralyzed,  and justice never prevails. The wicked hem in the righteous,  so that justice is perverted.

Look at the nations and watch— and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told. I am raising up the Babylonians, that ruthless and impetuous people, who sweep across the whole earth to seize dwellings not their own. They are a feared and dreaded people; they are a law to themselves and promote their own honor.

Lord, are you not from everlasting? My God, my Holy One, you will never die. You, Lord, have appointed them to execute judgment; you, my Rock, have ordained them to punish. Your eyes are too pure to look on evil;  you cannot tolerate wrongdoing. Why then do you tolerate the treacherous? Why are you silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves?

Your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot tolerate wrongdoing. Why then do you tolerate the treacherous? Why are you silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves?

You have made people like the fish in the sea, like the sea creatures that have no ruler.

Is he to keep on emptying his net, destroying nations without mercy?

Why?

We are men, and many things we don't understand like Hanakuk, we think we are righteous why does the Lord allow so many evil men to do destruction and violence.

Even the prophet wonders where is the justice and mercy of the Lord!

God has his plan beyond us, and the Lord raised Babylonians to sweep across the whole earth.

The Lord is full of love and righteousness. But the Lord has his time.

How?

Trust in the Lord, my God is beyond me. God's way always better than mine!
