Habakkuk 1:4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ So the ·teachings [law; instruction; ^LTorah] are ·weak [paralyzed],
    and justice never comes.
Evil people ·gain while good people lose [^Lsurround/hem in the righteous];
    ·the judges no longer make fair decisions [^Lso justice is perverted].

⁵ “Look at the nations!
    Watch them and be ·amazed and shocked [utterly astounded].
I will do something in your ·lifetime [^Ldays]
    that you won’t believe even when you are told about it.
⁶ I will ·use [raise up] the ·Babylonians [^LChaldeans],
    those ·cruel [ruthless; bitter] and ·wild [impetuous; hasty] people
who march across the earth
    and ·take lands [^Lseize dwellings] that don’t belong to them.
