Habakkuk:1:12-2
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Are You not from of old ,
Jehovah our God ,
my Holy One ?
We shall not die ,
Jehovah ,
for You have appointed him for judgment .
And ,
my Rock ,
You have established him for correction .
*
You are of purer eyes than to behold evil ,
and You are not able to look upon vexation .
Why do you look on those who deal deceitfully ?
Will You be silent when the wicked swallows one more righteous than he ?
*
For You make man like the fish of the sea ,
like creeping things with no ruler over him .
*
He takes up all of him with the hook ;
he drags him with his net and gathers him with his seine .
On account of this he rejoices and exults .
*
So he sacrifices to his net ,
and burns incense to his seine ;
because by them his portion is fat ,
and his food rich .
*
Shall he therefore empty his net ,
and shall he not spare to continually slay nations ?
