God responds that He will use Babylonians as an instrument of judgment against the iniquity of Judah. Below are five verses related to the topics dealt with in Habacuque 1:

This relates to the theme of Habakkuk 1 because the prophet cries to God in the name of the suffering people, and wonders why his prayers are not met.

Isaiah 5:20: "Woe to evil to call well, and good, evil; who make darkness light, and light, darkness; who make bitter sweet, and sweet, bitter!" This verse talks about the inversion of values ​​and the distortion of truth. This relates to the theme of Habakkuk 1 because the prophet is perplexed to the apparent inconsistency of God, which allows evil and injustice.

Jeremiah 12:1: "You are righteous, Lord, when I present my cause before you. However, I would like to argue with you about your righteousness. Why do the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all traitors live without problems?" This verse talks about human questioning before the mystery of divine justice. This relates to the theme of Habakkuk 1 because the prophet wonders why God allows the impunity of the oppressors and the disgrace of the innocent.
