Habakkuk 1:11-13
New American Standard Bible
11 Then they fly along 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)time everlasting,
Lord, my God, my Holy One?
We will not die.
You, Lord, have (E)appointed them to deliver judgment;
And You, O (F)Rock, have destined them to punish.
13 Your eyes are too (G)pure to look at evil,
And You cannot look at harm favorably.
Why do You (H)look favorably
At those who deal (I)treacherously?
Why are You (J)silent when the wicked (K)swallow up
Those more righteous than they?

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)
