Habakkuk 1:4-6
Evangelical Heritage Version

4 For this reason the law has become powerless.[a]
    Justice is never carried out.
    In fact, the wicked overwhelm the righteous
    so that justice is perverted.

They will sweep across the whole width of the earth, seizing lands and homes that do not belong to them.
