The prophet Habakkuk cried out to the Lord, his God. His nation, Judah, was full of corruption and injustice. How long would God tolerate it? God replied that he would deal with Judah by sending the nation of Babylon to punish her. First, Habakkuk responded with a declaration of God's trustworthy character, then he asked for further clarification on this hard-to-believe scheme. After logging his concerns Habakkuk waited expectantly for God to answer.
