Habakukk   1: 2-3, 2: 2-4

1:2 How long, O Lord, shall I cry out, and you will not heed? Shall I shout to you while suffering violence, and you will not save?
1:3 Why have you revealed to me iniquity and hardship, to see plunder and injustice opposite me? And there has been judgment, but the opposition is more powerful.
2:2 And the Lord responded to me and said: Write the vision and explain it on tablets, so that he who reads it may run through it.
2:3 For as yet the vision is far off, and it will appear in the end, and it will not lie. If it expresses any delay, wait for it. For it is arriving and it will arrive, and it will not be hindered.
2:4 Behold, he who is unbelieving, his soul will not be right within himself; but he who is just shall live in his faith.
