12Are You not from 1everlastingH6924, O LordH3068, my GodH430, my HolyH6918 OneH6918? We will not dieH4191. You, O LordH3068, have 2appointedH7760 them to judgeH4941; And You, O 3RockH6697, have establishedH3245 them to correctH3198.13Your eyesH5869 are tooH4480 4pureH2889 to 5approveH7200 evilH7451, And You canH3201 not lookH5027 on wickednessH5999 with favor. WhyH4100 do You 6lookH5027 with favor On those who dealH898 7treacherouslyH898? Why are You 8silentH2790 when the wickedH7563 9swallowH1104 up Those moreH4480 righteousH6662 thanH4480 they?14Why have You madeH6213 menH120 like the fishH1709 of the seaH3220, Like creepingH7431 thingsH7431 withoutH3808 a rulerH4910 over them?15The Chaldeans 10bringH5927 allH3605 of them up with a hookH2443, 11DragH1641 them awayH1641 with their netH2764, And gatherH622 them together in their fishingH4365 netH4365. ThereforeH5921H3651 they rejoiceH8055 and are gladH1523.16ThereforeH5921H3651 they offerH2076 a sacrificeH2076 to their netH2764 And 12burnH6999 incenseH6999 to their fishingH4365 netH4365; BecauseH3588 through 13theseH1992 thingsH1992 their 14catchH2506 is 15largeH8082, And their foodH3978 is 16plentifulH1277.17Will they thereforeH5921H3651 emptyH7385 their 17netH2764 And continuallyH8548 18slayH2026 nationsH1471 withoutH3808 sparingH2550?
