Habakkuk 1:11-13

New International Version

¹¹ Then they sweep past like the wind^(A) and go on—
    guilty people, whose own strength is their god.”^(B)

¹² Lord, are you not from everlasting?^(C)
    My God, my Holy One,^(D) you^[a] will never die.^(E)
You, Lord, have appointed^(F) them to execute judgment;
    you, my Rock,^(G) have ordained them to punish.
¹³ Your eyes are too pure^(H) to look on evil;
    you cannot tolerate wrongdoing.^(I)
Why then do you tolerate^(J) the treacherous?^(K)
    Why are you silent while the wicked
    swallow up those more righteous than themselves?^(L)
