Habakkuk 1:11-13
English Standard Version Anglicised
Habakkuk's Second Complaint
12 Are you not (C)from everlasting,
O Lord my God, my Holy One?
(D)We shall not die.
O Lord, (E)you have ordained them as a judgement,
and you, O (F)Rock, have established them for reproof.
13 You who are (G)of purer eyes than to see evil
and cannot look at wrong,
(H)why do you idly look at traitors
and (I)remain silent when the wicked swallows up
the man more righteous than he?
Habakkuk 1:11-13
New International Version
11 Then they sweep past like the wind(A) and go on—
guilty people, whose own strength is their god.”(B)
Habakkuk’s Second Complaint
12 Lord, are you not from everlasting?(C)
My God, my Holy One,(D) you[a] will never die.(E)
You, Lord, have appointed(F) them to execute judgment;
you, my Rock,(G) have ordained them to punish.
13 Your eyes are too pure(H) to look on evil;
you cannot tolerate wrongdoing.(I)
Why then do you tolerate(J) the treacherous?(K)
Why are you silent while the wicked
swallow up those more righteous than themselves?(L)
