Summary of Habakkuk chapter 1

Though we cry out because of a burden of violence and iniquity God does not hear nor save us from the strife and contention.
The law is slacked, and judgment seems slow in coming because the wicked surrounds us with injustice because the people heard not the cries of their neighbor neglecting the weightier matters.
But the terrible and dreadful judgement will snare the people in captivity everywhere and grind the people into dust as they "deal treacherously" even when they "sacrifice unto their net".
They will serve the curse that snares them and the wicked surround the righteous because the people are snared by their appetite and serve the system that captures them until the nations are slain.
