A Cry from a Grieved Heart

Commentators like Charles Spurgeon emphasize that the repeated question "How long?" is not just a theological query but a sorrowful, wailing cry. This expresses the deep grief and righteous impatience a believer feels when seeing evil triumph. It is a legitimate and heartfelt appeal to God born out of love for His kingdom.
