Habakkuk:1:12-2
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Art thou not from everlasting ,
O LORD my God ,
mine Holy One ?
we shall not die .
O LORD ,
thou hast ordained them for judgment ;
and ,
O mighty God ,
thou hast established them for correction .
*
Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil ,
and canst not look on iniquity :
wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously ,
and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he ?
*
And makest men as the fishes of the sea ,
as the creeping things ,
that have no ruler over them ?
*
They take up all of them with the angle ,
they catch them in their net ,
and gather them in their drag :
therefore they rejoice and are glad .
*
Therefore they sacrifice unto their net ,
and burn incense unto their drag ;
because by them their portion is fat ,
and their meat plenteous .
*
Shall they therefore empty their net ,
and not spare continually to slay the nations ?
