Habakkuk 1:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² “O Lord, are you not from everlasting,
    my holy God, you who are immortal?
You have marked them for judgment, O Lord;
    you, O Rock, have designated them for punishment.
¹³ Your eyes are too pure to gaze upon evil,
    and you cannot countenance wrongdoing.
Why then do you remain silent
    as you gaze on the treachery of the wicked,
watching them while they devour
    those who are more righteous?
¹⁴ You have made men like the fish of the sea,
    like crawling creatures without a ruler.
