Habakkuk 1:12-14

International Standard Version

The Prophet’s Second Complaint

¹²“Haven’t you existed forever,
    Lord my God, my Holy One?
        We won’t die!
Lord, you’ve prepared them^[a] for judgment;
    Rock, you’ve sentenced them^[b] to correction.
¹³Your eyes are too pure to gaze upon evil;
    and you cannot tolerate wickedness.
So why do you tolerate the treacherous?
    And why do you stay silent
        while the wicked devour those who are more righteous than they are?

¹⁴“You have fashioned mankind like fish in the ocean,
like creeping things that have no ruler.
