Habakkuk had faith in that God not only hears human laments, but makes room for human anger - even anger at God. Habakkuk had faith that speaking out anger at God is part of what it meant to be righteous and faithful.Habakkuk 1:1-4; 2:1-4The oracle that the prophet Habakkuk saw.O Lord, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not listen?Or cry to you “Violence!” and you will not save?Why do you make me see wrongdoing and look at trouble?Destruction and violence are before me; strife and contention arise.So the law becomes slack, and justice never prevails.The wicked surround the righteous; therefore judgment comes forth perverted.I will stand at my watchpost and station myself on the rampart;I will keep watch to see what he will say to me and what he will answer concerning my complaint.Then the Lord answered me and said:Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so that a runner may read it.For there is still a vision for the appointed time; it speaks of the end and does not lie.If it seems to tarry, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.Look at the proud! Their spirit is not right in them, but the righteous live by their faithfulness.
