Habakkuk 1:13-15

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹³ Your eyes^(A) are too pure^(B) to look on evil,
and You cannot tolerate wrongdoing.
So why do You tolerate those who are treacherous?^(C)
Why are You silent
while one^[a] who is wicked swallows up
one^[b] who is more righteous than himself?
¹⁴ You have made mankind
like the fish of the sea,^(D)
like marine creatures that have no ruler.
¹⁵ The Chaldeans pull them all up with a hook,
catch them in their dragnet,^(E)
and gather them in their fishing net;
that is why they are glad and rejoice.
