Habakkuk 1:12-17 But thou o LORDE my God, my holy one, thou art from the begynnynge, therfore shal we not dye. O LORDE, thou hast ordened them for a punyshmet, and set them to reproue the mightie.

Coverdale⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² But thou o LORDE my God, my holy one, thou art from the begynnynge, therfore shal we not dye. O LORDE, thou hast ordened them for a punyshmet, and set them to reproue the mightie. ¹³ Thine eyes are clene, thou mayest not se euell, thou canst not beholde ye thinge that is wicked. Wherfore then dost thou loke vpon the vngodly, and holdest thy tunge, when the wicked deuoureth the man that is better the himself? ¹⁴ Thou makest men as the fish in the see, and like as the crepinge beestes, that haue no gyde. ¹⁵ They take vp all with their angle, they catch it in their net, & gather it in their yarne: wherof they reioyce and are glad. ¹⁶ Therfore offre they vnto their net, and do sacrifice vnto their yarne: because that thorow it their porcion is become so fat, and their meate so pleteous. ¹⁷ Wherfore they cast out their net agayne, & neuer ceasse to slaye the people.
