Habakkuk 1:13-15
Amplified Bible
13
Your eyes are too pure to approve evil,
And You cannot look favorably on wickedness.
Why then do You look favorably
On those who act treacherously?
Why are you silent when the wicked (Chaldean oppressors) destroy
Those more righteous than they?
14
Why do You make men like the fish of the sea,
Like reptiles and creeping things that have no ruler [and are helpless against their enemies]?
15
The Chaldeans bring all of them up with a hook,
And drag them away with a net,
And gather them together in their fishing net;
So they rejoice and are glad.

Habakkuk 1:13-15
New International Version
13 Your eyes are too pure(A) to look on evil;
you cannot tolerate wrongdoing.(B)
Why then do you tolerate(C) the treacherous?(D)
Why are you silent while the wicked
swallow up those more righteous than themselves?(E)
14 You have made people like the fish in the sea,
like the sea creatures that have no ruler.
15 The wicked(F) foe pulls all of them up with hooks,(G)
he catches them in his net,(H)
he gathers them up in his dragnet;
and so he rejoices and is glad.
