Habakkuk's complaint is not so much about the wickedness of the Babylonians, as with the silence of God - he prays 'Why are you silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves? (1:13c).
Muprofeta wo tshembeka Habakuku u vutise a ku: "Ha yini u languta lava va xengaka, u miyela loko munhu wo homboloka a mita loyi a lulameke ku n'wi tlula?" - Habakuku 1:13.
