Habakkuk 1:12-17 - Habakkuk's Second Complaint
12 Are you not from of old, O Yahweh my God, my Holy One? You shall not die. O Yahweh, you have marked them for judgment; O Rock, you have established them for reproof. 13 Your eyes [are] too pure to see evil, and you are not able to look at wrongdoing. Why do you look at the treacherous? [Why] are you silent when the wicked swallows up [someone] more righteous than him? 14 You make humankind like fish of the sea, like crawling creatures that have no ruler among them. 15 He brings up all of them with a fishhook; he drags them up with a fishnet; he gathers them in his dragnet. Therefore, he rejoices and exults. 16 Therefore he sacrifices to his fishnet and makes offerings to his dragnet, for by them {he makes a good living} and his food [is] rich. 17 Will he therefore empty his fishnet and continually kill nations without showing mercy?
