Habakkuk 1:12-14

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

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.
