NETBible

Why do you force me to witness injustice?¹ Why do you put up with wrongdoing?² Destruction and violence confront³ me; conflict is present and one must endure strife.⁴

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “Why do you make me see injustice?”

²tn Heb “Why do you look at wrongdoing?”

²sn Habakkuk complains that God tolerates social injustice and fails to intervene on behalf of the oppressed (put up with wrongdoing).

³tn Heb “are before.”

⁴tn Heb “and there is conflict and strife he lifts up.” The present translation takes the verb יִשָּׂא (yisa’) in the sense of “carry, bear,” and understands the subject to be indefinite (“one”).
