Habakkuk 1:13-17

13Thou that art of purer eyesH5869 than to behold evilH7451, and that canst not lookH7200 on perverseness, wherefore lookest thou upon them that dealH898 treacherouslyH898, and holdest thy peace when the wickedH7563 swalloweth up the man that is moreH4480 righteousH6662 than he; 14and makest menH120 as the fishes of the seaH3220, as the creepingH7431 thingsH7431, that have no rulerH4910 over them? 15He taketh up all of them with the angle, he catcheth them in his net, and gathereth them in his drag: thereforeH3651 he rejoiceth and is gladH8055. 16ThereforeH3651 he sacrificeth unto his net, and burneth incenseH6999 unto his drag; because by them his portionH2506 is fatH1277, and his foodH3978 plenteous. 17Shall he thereforeH3651 empty his net, and spareH2550 not to slayH2026 the nationsH1471 continuallyH8548?
