Habakkuk 1:12-17 - Habakkuk's Second Complaint

¹² Art not, thou, from of old, O Yahweh, my God, my Holy One? Thou diest not! O Yahweh, to judgment, hast thou appointed him, and, O Rock, to correction, hast thou devoted him: ¹³ Thou whose eyes are too pure to look with approval on wrong, to respect oppression, canst not endure, - Wherefore, shouldst thou respect the treacherous? Be silent, when the lawless, swalloweth up, one more righteous than he? ¹⁴ So wouldst thou have made Men, like the fishes of the sea, - like the creeping thing that hath no ruler over it: ¹⁵ All of which, with a hook, one bringeth up, raketh together with his drag, and hath gathered with his net, - ¹⁶ On which account, he is glad and exulteth: on which account, he sacrificeth to his Net, and burneth incense to his Drag; because, thereby, rich, is his portion, and his food - fatness! ¹⁷ Shall he, on this account, empty his net? And, the continual slaying of nations, deem to be no pity?
