Habakkuk 1:11-13
New American Standard Bible 1995
11 “Then they will sweep through like the (A)wind and pass on.
But they will be held (B)guilty,
They whose (C)strength is their god.”
12 Are You not from (D)everlasting,
O Lord, my God, my Holy One?
We will not die.
You, O Lord, have (E)appointed them to judge;
And You, O (F)Rock, have established them to correct.
13 Your eyes are too (G)pure to [a]approve evil,
And You can not look on wickedness with favor.
Why do You (H)look with favor
On those who deal (I)treacherously?
Why are You (J)silent when the wicked (K)swallow up
Those more righteous than they?

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)
