Habakkuk 1:13-17
Habakkuk 1:13
Your eyes are too pure to look at evil, And You cannot look at harm favorably. Why do You look favorably At those who deal treacherously? Why are You silent when the wicked swallow up Those more righteous than they?
Habakkuk 1:14
Why have You made people like the fish of the sea, Like crawling things that have no ruler over them?
Habakkuk 1:15
The Chaldeans bring all of them up with a hook, Drag them away with their net, And gather them together in their fishing net. Therefore they rejoice and are joyful.
Habakkuk 1:16
Therefore they offer a sacrifice to their net And burn incense to their fishing net, Because through these things their catch is large, And their food is plentiful.
Habakkuk 1:17
Will they therefore empty their net, And continually slay nations without sparing?
