Habakkuk 1:12-2:1
Authorized (King James) Version
12 Art thou not from everlasting,
O Lord my God, mine Holy One?
we shall not die.
O Lord, thou hast ordained them for judgment;
and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.
13 Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil,
and canst not look on iniquity:
wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously,
and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?
14 And makest men as the fishes of the sea,
as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
15 They take up all of them with the angle,
they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag:
therefore they rejoice and are glad.
16 Therefore they sacrifice unto their net,
and burn incense unto their drag;
because by them their portion is fat,
and their meat plenteous.
17 Shall they therefore empty their net,
and not spare continually to slay the nations?
2 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower,
and will watch to see what he will say unto me,
and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
Habakkuk 1:12-2:1
American Standard Version
12 Art not thou from everlasting, O Jehovah my God, my Holy One? we shall not die. O Jehovah, thou hast ordained him for judgment; and thou, O Rock, hast established him for correction. 13 Thou that art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and that canst not look on perverseness, wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy peace when the wicked swalloweth up the man that is more righteous than he; 14 and makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them? 15 He taketh up all of them with the angle, he catcheth them in his net, and gathereth them in his drag: therefore he rejoiceth and is glad. 16 Therefore he sacrificeth unto his net, and burneth incense unto his drag; because by them his portion is fat, and his food [a]plenteous. 17 Shall he therefore empty his net, and spare not to slay the nations continually?
2 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the [b]tower, and will look forth to see what he will speak [c]with me, and what I shall answer concerning my complaint.
