Habakkuk Complains (Again)
Verse numbers are the biblical book's, as in his document.
12 Lord are you not from infinity? my Divinity, my Holy One you will never die. You, Lord, have appointed them to execute judgment, You, O Rock unbudging, have anointed them to execute. [x2]
13 Your eyes are too pure to surmise disobeying, You cannot gaze at nor endure evil ways. Why then do You watch those who wallow in treachery? Why be quiet while wicked wretches swallow those more righteous than they? 14 Why do You make people like fish in the ocean, like sea creatures in conditions of commotion? 15 The wicked foe pulls ‘em in with hooks, the crook gets ‘em in his net, snagged by a man magnet of a dragnet. and then he sang yet and delighted. 16 Therefore he invents sacrifices to his net, and lights incense to the dragon’s dragnet; Because of this net his haul is huge, and he benefits from holistic foods. Will You let him empty his net constantly, onslaught countries without empathy? Ch. 2. 1 I will stand on guard and station myself on the ramparts; I will regard what He will speak and seek to sport a retort to this critique. [x2]
