God’s Word Translation
Habakkuk 1:13-17
13Your eyes are too pure to look at evil. You can’t watch wickedness. Why do you keep watching treacherous people? Why are you silent when wicked people swallow those who are more righteous than they are?
14You make all people like the fish in the sea, like schools of sea life that have no ruler.
15The Babylonians pull them all up with fishhooks, drag them away in nets, and gather them in dragnets. So they rejoice and are happy.
16That is why they sacrifice to their nets and burn incense to their dragnets. They are rich and well fed because of them.
17Will they keep on emptying their nets and always kill nations without mercy?
