Habakkuk

Quotes

• “Lord, ... your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot tolerate wrongdoing. Why then do you tolerate the treacherous? Why are you silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves?”
• “Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.”
• “For the stone will cry out from the wall, ... "Woe to him who builds a town with blood and founds a city on iniquity!"”
