Habakkuk and the Age-Old Problem of Evil

Habakkuk is interesting because he he's writing a little bit later than Nahom and instead of saying repent repent repent he asks God two questions and God gives him two answers. He just sees the righteous suffering or what he considers to be righteous people his own people so he says how can you be allowing us to suffer? His name means to clasp or embrace and I think of that beautiful route to Kafar the Hebrew word for atonement is that embracing that clasping the covering of the clothing.
