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

¹² "Haven't you existed forever, LORD my God, my Holy One? We won't die! LORD, you've prepared them for judgment; Rock, you've sentenced them to correction. ¹³ Your eyes are too pure to gaze upon evil; and you cannot tolerate wickedness. So why do you tolerate the treacherous? And why do you stay silent while the wicked devour those who are more righteous than they are? ¹⁴ "You have fashioned mankind like fish in the ocean, like creeping things that have no ruler. ¹⁵ The adversary captures them with a hook, gathering them up in a fishing net. He collects them with a dragnet, rejoicing and gloating over his catch. ¹⁶ Therefore he sacrifices to his fishing net, and burns incense in the presence of his dragnet, because by them his assets increase and he gets plenty of food. ¹⁷ Is he to continue to empty his fishing net? Will he ever stop killing entire nations without mercy?"
