Habakkuk 1:12-14

Modern English Version

¹² Are You not from everlasting,
    O Lord my God, my Holy One? We will not die.
O Lord, You have appointed them for judgment;
    and You, O Rock, have established them for correction.
¹³ Your eyes are too pure to look on evil,
    and You cannot look on wickedness.
Why do You look on those who deal treacherously,
    and hold Your tongue when the wicked
    devours the man who is more righteous than he?
¹⁴ You make men like fish of the sea,
    like crawling things that have no ruler.
