After King Josiah died, Judah descended into abject idolatry. The nation was plagued by iniquity, violence, destruction, strife and contention. It was a land devoid of justice in which the wicked far outnumbered the righteous. The prophet Habakkuk was appalled at the state of affairs and cried out to the Lord.
