Habakkuk 1:2 in Context — Habakkuk 1
1 Oracle révélé à Habacuc, le prophète.
2 Jusqu’à quand, ô Éternel?… J’ai crié, Et tu n’écoutes pas! J’ai crié vers toi à la violence, Et tu ne secours pas!
3 Pourquoi me fais-tu voir l’iniquité, Et contemples-tu l’injustice? Pourquoi l’oppression et la violence sont-elles devant moi? Il y a des querelles, et la discorde s’élève.
4 Aussi la loi n’a point de vie, La justice n’a point de force; Car le méchant triomphe du juste, Et l’on rend des jugements iniques.
