| 2 | O Yahweh, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not hear? Or cry to you "Violence!" and you will not save? | Habakkuk complains of injustice. Hab.1.2-4 | עַד־אָנָה יְהוָה שִׁוַּעְתִּי וְלֹא תִשְׁמָע אֶזְעַק אֵלֶיךָ חָמָס וְלֹא תֹושִׁיעַ׃ |
| 3 | Why do you make me see wrongs and look upon trouble? Destruction and violence are before me; strife and contention arise. | לָמָּה תַרְאֵנִי אָוֶן וְעָמָל תַּבִּיט וְשֹׁד וְחָמָס לְנֶגְדִּי וַיְהִי רִיב וּמָדֹון יִשָּׂא׃ | |
| 4 | So the law is slacked and justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous, so justice goes forth perverted. | עַל־כֵּן תָּפוּג תֹּורָה וְלֹא־יֵצֵא לָנֶצַח מִשְׁפָּט כִּי רָשָׁע מַכְתִּיר אֶת־הַצַּדִּיק עַל־כֵּן יֵצֵא מִשְׁפָּט מְעֻקָּל׃ | |
