Habakkuk 1:13-15

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

    and you cannot look on wrongdoing;

    and are silent when the wicked swallow
    those more righteous than they?
¹⁴You have made people like the fish of the sea,

¹⁵The enemy^[a] brings all of them up with a hook;
he drags them out with his net,
he gathers them in his seine;
so he rejoices and exults.
