Habakkuk

The book of Habakkuk begins with the prophet questioning God about the prevalence of violence and injustice, and why the wicked seem to prosper while the righteous suffer. God responds by revealing His plan to use the Chaldeans to punish the wicked, which Habakkuk struggles to understand. God then instructs Habakkuk to write down a vision that will be fulfilled in the future, warning of punishment for the proud and greedy, and condemning idolatry. The book concludes with Habakkuk describing God's power and glory, and resolving to trust in God's strength despite the coming trouble and potential famine.
