¹² Are you not from of old,
    O Lord my God, my Holy One?
    You^[a] shall not die.
O Lord, you have marked them for judgment,
    and you, O Rock, have established them for punishment.^(A)
13 Your eyes are too pure to behold evil,
    and you cannot look on wrongdoing;
why do you look on the treacherous
    and are silent when the wicked swallow
    those more righteous than they?^(B)
