Habakkuk 1:11-13

Complete Jewish Bible

¹¹Then they sweep on like the wind,
but they become guilty,
because they make their strength their god.”

¹²Adonai, haven’t you existed forever?
My God, my holy one, we will not die.
Adonai, you appointed them to execute judgment.
Rock, you commissioned them to correct us.
¹³Your eyes are too pure to see evil,
you cannot countenance oppression.
So why do you countenance traitors?
Why are you silent when evil people
swallow up those more righteous than they?
