Habakkuk 1:11-13
International Standard Version
11 Then like[a] the wind sweeping by
they will pass through—
they’re guilty because they say[b] their power is their god.”
The Prophet’s Second Complaint
12 “Haven’t you existed forever,
Lord my God, my Holy One?
We won’t die!
Lord, you’ve prepared them[c] for judgment;
Rock, you’ve sentenced them[d] to correction.
13 Your eyes are too pure to gaze upon evil;
and you cannot tolerate wickedness.
So why do you tolerate the treacherous?
And why do you stay silent
while the wicked devour those who are more righteous than they are?
