Habakkuk:1:12-2
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Art not ,
thou ,
from of old ,
O Yahweh ,
my God ,
my Holy One ?
Thou diest not !
O Yahweh ,
to judgment ,
hast thou appointed him ,
and ,
O Rock ,
to correction ,
hast thou devoted him :
*
whose eyes are too pure to look with approval on wrong ,
to respect oppression ,
canst not endure ,
Wherefore ,
shouldst thou respect the treacherous ?
Be silent ,
when the lawless ,
swalloweth up ,
one more righteous than he ?
*
So wouldst thou have made Men ,
like the fishes of the sea ,
like the creeping thing that hath no ruler over it :
*
All of which ,
with a hook ,
one bringeth up ,
raketh together with his drag ,
and hath gathered with his net ,
*
On which account ,
he is glad and exulteth :
on which account ,
he sacrificeth to his Net ,
and burneth incense to his Drag ;
because ,
thereby ,
rich ,
is his portion ,
and his foodfatness !
*
Shall he ,
on this account ,
empty his net ?
And ,
the continual slaying of nations ,
deem to be no pity ?
