Habakkuk 1:4

Context

1:4 For this reason the law lacks power, 1 

and justice is never carried out. 2 

Indeed, 3  the wicked intimidate 4  the innocent. 5 

For this reason justice is perverted. 6 

1 tn Heb “the law is numb,” i.e., like a hand that has “fallen asleep” (see Ps 77:2). Cf. NAB “is benumbed”; NIV “is paralyzed.”

2 tn Heb “never goes out.”

3 tn Or “for.”

4 tn Heb “surround” (so NASB, NRSV).

5 tn Or “righteous” (KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).
