Habakkuk 1:11-13

New Century Version

¹¹ Then they leave like the wind and move on.
    They are guilty of worshiping their own strength.”

¹² Lord, you live forever,
    my God, my holy God.
    We will not die.
Lord, you have chosen the Babylonians to punish people;
    our Rock, you picked them to punish.
¹³ Your eyes are too good to look at evil;
    you cannot stand to see those who do wrong.
So how can you put up with those evil people?
    How can you be quiet when the wicked swallow up people who are better than they are?
