New King James Version
The Prophet’s Second Question
12 Are You not (A)from everlasting,
O Lord my God, my Holy One?
We shall not die.
O Lord, (B)You have appointed them for judgment;
O Rock, You have marked them for (C)correction.
13 You are of purer eyes than to behold evil,
And cannot look on wickedness.
Why do You look on those who deal treacherously,
And hold Your tongue when the wicked devours
A person more righteous than he?
