Habakkuk 1:12-17 Are You not from everlasting, O Jehovah my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. O Jehovah, You have ordained them for judgment; and, my Rock, You have established them for correction.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² Are You not from everlasting, O Jehovah my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. O Jehovah, You have ordained them for judgment; and, my Rock, You have established them for correction. ¹³ You are of purer eyes than to behold evil, and can not look upon vexation. Why do You look upon those who deal deceitfully? Will you be silent when the wicked swallows one more righteous than he? ¹⁴ For You make man like the fish of the sea, like creeping things with no ruler over them. ¹⁵ He takes up all of them with the hook; he drags him with his net and gathers him with his seine; therefore he rejoices and exults. ¹⁶ So he sacrifices to his net and burns incense to his seine; because by them his portion is fat and his food rich. ¹⁷ Shall he then empty his net, and shall he not spare to continually slay nations?
