Habakkuk 1:12-17 (New Revised Standard)
12
Are you not from of old, O Lord my God, my Holy One? You a shall not die. O Lord, you have marked them for judgment; and you, O Rock, have established them for punishment.
13
Your eyes are too pure to behold evil, and you cannot look on wrongdoing; why do you look on the treacherous, and are silent when the wicked swallow those more righteous than they?
14
You have made people like the fish of the sea, like crawling things that have no ruler.
15
The enemy b brings all of them up with a hook; he drags them out with his net, he gathers them in his seine; so he rejoices and exults.
16
Therefore he sacrifices to his net and makes offerings to his seine; for by them his portion is lavish, and his food is rich.
17
Is he then to keep on emptying his net, and destroying nations without mercy?
