Habakkuk 1:3 Douay-Rheims

Why hast thou shewn me iniquity and grievance, to see rapine and injustice before me? and there is a judgment, but opposition is more powerful.

Rashi

1040–1105 Jewish

iniquity plunder and violence.
and look upon mischief You look upon this mischief, but You do not help.
and the one who bears quarrel and strife endures And this wicked man who bears quarrel and strife, will live, remain in existence, and prosper.
endures He who bears quarrel and strife will endure. So did Jonathan render.
