Habakkuk 1:11-13

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹¹ They will move quickly and pass through like the wind.
So they will be guilty,
because their own strength is their god.

¹² Didn’t you exist before time began, O Lord, my God, my Holy One?
We will not die!
O Lord, you have appointed the Babylonians to bring judgment.
O Rock, you have destined them to correct us.
¹³ Your eyes are too pure to look at evil.
You can’t watch wickedness.
Why do you keep watching treacherous people?
Why are you silent when wicked people swallow those
who are more righteous than they are?
