Habakkuk 1:12-16

Habakkuk 1:12

Haven't you existed from eternity past? You are Lord my God, my Holy One, you do not die. Lord, you appointed them to execute judgment; God our Rock, you sent them to punish us.

Habakkuk 1:13

Your eyes are too pure to look upon evil; you cannot stand the sight of wrong. So why do you put up with untrustworthy people? Why are you silent when the wicked destroy those who do less evil than they do?

Habakkuk 1:14

You make people become like fish in the sea, or like crawling insects, that have no ruler.

Habakkuk 1:15

They drag everyone up with hooks, they pull them out with nets, catching them in dragnets. Then they happily celebrate.

Habakkuk 1:16

They worship their nets as if they were gods, making sacrifices and burning incense to them, because by their nets they live in luxury, eating rich food.
