Habakkuk 1:12-14
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Habakkuk’s Second Prayer
12 Are You not from eternity, Yahweh my God?
My Holy One,(A) You[a] will not die.
Lord, You appointed them to execute judgment;
my Rock,(B) You destined them to punish us.
13 Your eyes(C) are too pure(D) to look on evil,
and You cannot tolerate wrongdoing.
So why do You tolerate those who are treacherous?(E)
Why are You silent
while one[b] who is wicked swallows up
one[c] who is more righteous than himself?
14 You have made mankind
like the fish of the sea,(F)
like marine creatures that have no ruler.
