, Lord, ... your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot tolerate wrongdoing. Why then do you tolerate the treacherous?
Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

About this person
Habakkuk was active around 612 BC, a moment when empires shifted and moral disorder seemed to reign. The Book of Habakkuk preserves his oracles and a prayer, placing him eighth among the twelve minor prophets in the Hebrew Bible. Almost nothing biographical survives beyond his title, "the prophet" - no birthplace, no genealogy, no life events. He appears briefly in the deuterocanonical Additions to Daniel, and over the centuries both Christian and Rabbinic traditions have kept his name alive, though the man himself remains a voice without a face.
