Habakkuk
Treated in 76 passages across the library.
A dialogue between the prophet Habakkuk and God. He asks why evil goes unpunished in Judah, and then why God would use the cruel Babylonians to judge it. The answer comes that "the just shall live by his faith," words that Paul quotes and that set Luther's conscience free. The book ends with a prayer of trust: "yet I will rejoice in the Lord."
