The opening verses reveal a historical situation similar to the days of Amos and Micah. Justice had essentially disappeared from the Land; violence and wickedness were pervasive, existing unchecked. In the midst of these dark days, the prophet cried out for divine intervention. God's response, that He was sending the Chaldeans to judge Judah, creates an even greater theological dilemma for Habakkuk. Why didnt' God purge His people and restore their righteousness?
