Habakkuk 1:2
O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!
KJV
Usquequo, Domine, clamabo, et non exaudies ? vociferabor ad te, vim patiens, et non salvabis ?
Vulgate
Ἕως τίνος, Κύριε, κράξομαι, καὶ οὐ μὴ εἰσακούσῃς; βοήσομαι πρὸς σὲ ἀδικούμενος, καὶ οὐ σώσεις;
LXX
O Jehovah, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear? I cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save.
