The World English Bible (WEB): Habakkuk

"The World English Bible (WEB): Habakkuk" by Anonymous is a sacred scripture where questions of fairness and belief echo through the ages. It tells of a prophet wrestling with troubling times as he sees good people suffer while the wicked gain power, and he can't understand why a just God would allow such unfairness to happen. Habakkuk speaks with God, arguing about the violence and crookedness he sees all around him and questions why God doesn't step in; God answers with a promise that things will be made right and encourages the prophet to have trust in the divine plan. Habakkuk then offers a prayer from the heart, celebrating his trust that God will give him help and strength, no matter how bad things seem. In its heart, the narrative encourages living by faith, trusting that justice will prevail, even when everything looks hopeless.
