Read the Story
Habakkuk 1:1 calls this the revelation which Habakkuk the prophet saw. Habakkuk was upset. He saw violence and fighting. The law was not working, and justice did not win.
Habakkuk cried out, Yahweh, how long will I cry? God answered. He told them to look among the nations and wonder. God said, I am working a work in your days. God would raise up the Chaldeans, a fierce nation.
Habakkuk was troubled again. He said God is from everlasting. God has purer eyes than to see evil. So why does God let cruel people win? Habakkuk brought his hard questions to God.
