You, LordH3068, have 2appointedH7760 them to deliver judgmentH4941; And You, O 3RockH6697, have destinedH3245 them to punishH3198.13Your eyesH5869 are tooH4480 4pureH2889 to lookH7200 at evilH7451, And You cannotH3201H3808 lookH5027 at harmH5999 favorably. WhyH4100 do You 5lookH5027 favorably At those who dealH898 6treacherouslyH898? Why areH2790 You 7silentH2790 when the wickedH7563 8swallowH1104 upH1104 Those moreH4480 righteousH6662 thanH4480 they?14Why have You madeH6213 peopleH120 like the fishH1709 of the seaH3220, Like crawlingH7431 thingsH7431 that have noH3808 rulerH4910 over them?15The Chaldeans 9bringH5927 allH3605 of them upH5927 with a hookH2443, 10DragH1641 them awayH1641 with their netH2764, And gatherH622 them togetherH622 in their fishingH4365 netH4365.
