Habakkuk 1:13-15
English Standard Version
Habakkuk 1:13-15
English Standard Version
13 You who are (A)of purer eyes than to see evil
and cannot look at wrong,
(B)why do you idly look at traitors
and (C)remain silent when the wicked swallows up
the man more righteous than he?
14 You make mankind like the fish of the sea,
like crawling things that have no ruler.
15 (D)He[a] brings all of them up (E)with a hook;
he drags them out with his net;
he gathers them in his dragnet;
so he rejoices and is glad.

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.
