A Prophet's Compliant/ Prayer/ God's Answer

Habakkuk 1:2-4 O LORD, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not hear? Or cry to you "Violence!"
and you will not save? Why do you make me see iniquity, and why do you idly look at wrong?
Destruction and violence are before me; strife and contention arise. So the law is paralyzed,
and justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous; so justice goes forth perverted.
Habakkuk 1: 12-13 Are you not from everlasting, O LORD my God, my Holy One?
We shall not die. O LORD, you have ordained them as a judgment, and you, O Rock, have established them for reproof. You who are of purer eyes than to see evil and cannot look at wrong, why do you idly look at traitors and remain silent when the wicked swallows up the man more righteous than he?
God answers!
Habakkuk 1:5  "Look among the nations, and see; wonder and be astounded. For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told.
Habakkuk 2:2-4 2 And the LORD answered me: "Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay. "Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him, but the righteous shall live by his faith.
Habakkuk 2:20 But the LORD is in his holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before him."
Habakkuk 3:2 O LORD, I have heard the report of you, and your work, O LORD, do I fear.

In the midst of the years revive it; in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy.
Rejoice!
Habakkuk 3:17-19 Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines,
the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold
and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
GOD, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer’s; he makes me tread on my high places.
