Habakkuk 1:4

4 This is why the law is numb[a]
and justice never comes,
For the wicked surround the just;(A)
this is why justice comes forth perverted.
Footnotes
- 1:4 The law is numb: because the Lord has been silent, the Law, whether in the form of the scroll found in the Temple in the time of Josiah (2 Kgs 22) or in the form of divine instruction given by priests and prophets, has proved ineffective and so appeared to be cold, unreceptive, and powerless. For the Law to be credible, the Lord must see to it that the wicked are punished and the just rewarded.
