Habakkuk 1:3 in Context — Habakkuk 1
1 Revelação que o profeta Habacuque viu.
2 Até quando, SENHOR, eu clamarei, e tu não ouvirás? [Até quando] gritarei a ti: Violência!, e tu não salvarás?
3 Por que me fazes ver a injustiça, e vês a opressão? Pois assolação e violência estão em frente de mim, há brigas, e disputas se levantam.
4 Por isso que a lei é enfraquecida, e o juízo nunca se cumpre: porque o perverso cerca o justo, por o juízo é distorcido.
5 Vede entre as nações, e prestai atenção, e espantai-vos, espantai-vos; porque uma obra será feita em vossos dias, que quando for contada, não acreditareis.
