Habakkuk

The Book of Habakkuk is a dialogue between the prophet Habakkuk and God. Habakkuk questions why God allows injustice and suffering to persist. God responds, revealing that He will use the Babylonians to execute judgment, yet they too will face consequences for their actions. Habakkuk ultimately expresses faith in God's wisdom and justice. The book teaches about wrestling with doubt, the complexity of divine justice, and finding faith amidst uncertainty.

The Vision of Justice and the Five Woes Against the Wicked

1. I will stand on my watch, and set me on the tower, and will watch to see what he will say to me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. 2. And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain on tables, that he may run that reads it. 3. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
