Habakkuk 1:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 Art not thou of old, O Lord my God, mine holy One? we shall not [a]die: O Lord, thou hast ordained them for judgment, and O God, thou hast established them for correction.
13 Thou art of pure eyes, and canst not see evil: thou canst not behold wickedness: wherefore dost thou look upon the transgressors, and holdest thy tongue, when the wicked devoureth the man, that is more righteous than he?
14 And makest men as the [b]fishes of the sea, and as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
