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

¹² You are from everlasting, O Jehovah my God, my Holy One, You are eternal. O Jehovah, you have appointed them (the Chaldean) to execute judgment. You, O Rock, have established them for correction. ¹³ Your eyes are too pure to look at evil. You cannot look at perversity. Why do you look at treacherous persons and not act? Why do you keep quiet when the wicked destroy the man who is more righteous? ¹⁴ Why do you make men like the fish of the sea, like creeping things that have no ruler over them? ¹⁵ He brings them all up with the hook. He gathers them away in his net. He gladly gathers them and rejoices. ¹⁶ He offers sacrifices and burns incense to his fishing net. For it is through this their catch is great and the food is plentiful. ¹⁷ Will they keep on emptying their nets and keep on destroying nations without mercy?
