Habakkuk 1:13-15

EasyEnglish Bible

¹³ But you are too holy to accept anything that is evil.
    You cannot agree with people who do wrong things.
So why do you let these wicked people live?
    Why do you say nothing?
They are killing people who are more righteous than themselves.
¹⁴ It seems that you have made people like fish in the sea.
    They are like animals that have no leader to rule them.
¹⁵ The Babylonians can easily catch them,
    like people who catch fish with hooks.
They throw their nets into the water,
    and they catch as many as they want.
When they store their fish in special nets,
    they sing happy songs.
