1 Habakkuk saw a message from God. 2 Habakkuk said to God, “How long? I cry for help, but You do not save yet. Bad men hurt us.” 3 Habakkuk said, “Why do I see so much bad and hurt? I see fight and harm all day.” ⚔️ 4 Rules are not used. Right does not win. Bad people trap good people. Judges do not do right. ⚖️❌ 5 God said, “Look at other lands. I will do a big thing. You will not believe it.” ✨ 6 God said, “I will bring a big army from Babylon. They are fast and mean. They take homes that are not theirs.” ️⚔️️ 7 They are very scary. They make their own rules. ⚖️ 8 Their horses run so fast. The men ride quick. They come like an eagle to eat. 9 They come to hurt. They grab many people, like sand by the sea. ⚔️️ 10 They laugh at kings and rulers. Big walls do not stop them. ❌ 11 They rush like wind and move on. They do wrong. They think their own strength is like a god. ️➡️❌ 12 Habakkuk said, “God, You live forever. You are holy. You set them to punish. You are strong like a rock.” ⛅️ 13 Habakkuk said, “You are too pure to like bad. Why let bad men win? They eat up people who are better than them.” ✨❌ 14 People feel like fish in the sea, like little bugs with no leader. 15 The bad man catches people like fish with a hook and a net. He is glad. ️ 16 He bows to his net and tools. He thinks they feed him and make him rich. ♂️️ 17 Habakkuk said, “Will he keep on and on, killing and taking, with no stop?” ❓⛔⚔️
