Habakkuk 1:10-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
10
They make fun of kings,
And dignitaries are
an object of
laughter to them.
They laugh at every fortress,
Then heap up dirt and capture it.
11
Then they fly along
like
the wind and pass on.
But they will be held guilty,
They whose strength is their god.'
12
Are You not from time everlasting,
Lord
, my God, my Holy One?
We will not die.
You,
Lord
, have appointed them to
deliver
judgment;
And You, O Rock, have destined them to punish.
13
Your
eyes are too pure to look at evil,
And You cannot look at harm
favorably.
Why do You look
favorably
At those who deal treacherously?
Why
are You silent when the wicked swallow up
Those more righteous than they?
14
Why
have You made people like the fish of the sea,
Like crawling things that have no ruler over them?
King James Version
Chapter 1
10
And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.
11
Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.
12
Art thou not from everlasting, O
Lord
my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O
Lord
, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.
13
Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?
14
And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 1
10
They mock kings,
and rulers are a joke to them.
They laugh at every fortress
and build siege ramps to capture it.
11
Then they sweep by like the wind
and pass through.
They are guilty; their strength is their god.
12
Are you not from eternity,
Lord
my God?
My Holy One, you will not die.
Lord
, you appointed them to execute judgment;
my Rock, you destined them to punish us.
13
Your eyes are too pure to look on evil,
and you cannot tolerate wrongdoing.
So why do you tolerate those who are treacherous?
Why are you silent
while one who is wicked swallows up
one who is more righteous than himself?
14
You have made mankind
like the fish of the sea,
like marine creatures that have no ruler.
New Living Translation
Chapter 1
10
They scoff at kings and princes
and scorn all their fortresses.
They simply pile ramps of earth
against their walls and capture them!
11
They sweep past like the wind
and are gone.
But they are deeply guilty,
for their own strength is their god.'
12
O
Lord
my God, my Holy One, you who are eternal —
surely you do not plan to wipe us out?
O
Lord
, our Rock, you have sent these Babylonians to correct us,
to punish us for our many sins.
13
But you are pure and cannot stand the sight of evil.
Will you wink at their treachery?
Should you be silent while the wicked
swallow up people more righteous than they?
14
Are we only fish to be caught and killed?
Are we only sea creatures that have no leader?
English Standard Version
Chapter 1
10
At kings they scoff,
and at rulers they laugh.
They laugh at every fortress,
for they pile up earth and take it.
11
Then they sweep by like the wind and go on,
guilty men, whose own might is their god!"
12
Are you not from everlasting,
O
Lord
my God, my Holy One?
We shall not die.
O
Lord
, you have ordained them as a judgment,
and you, O Rock, have established them for reproof.
13
You who are of purer eyes than to see evil
and cannot look at wrong,
why do you idly look at traitors
and remain silent when the wicked swallows up
the man more righteous than he?
14
You make mankind like the fish of the sea,
like crawling things that have no ruler.
New International Version
Chapter 1
10
They mock kings
and scoff at rulers.
They laugh at all fortified cities;
by building earthen ramps they capture them.
11
Then they sweep past like the wind and go on—
guilty people, whose own strength is their god."
12
Lord
, are you not from everlasting?
My God, my Holy One, you will never die.
You,
Lord
, have appointed them to execute judgment;
you, my Rock, have ordained them to punish.
13
Your eyes are too pure to look on evil;
you cannot tolerate wrongdoing.
Why then do you tolerate the treacherous?
Why are you silent while the wicked
swallow up those more righteous than themselves?
14
You have made people like the fish in the sea,
like the sea creatures that have no ruler.
New King James Version
Chapter 1
10
They scoff at kings,
And princes are scorned by them.
They deride every stronghold,
For they heap up earthen
mounds
and seize it.
11
Then
his
mind changes, and he transgresses;
He commits offense,
Ascribing
this power to his god.”
12
Are You not from everlasting,
O
Lord
my God, my Holy One?
We shall not die.
O
Lord
, You have appointed them for judgment;
O Rock, You have marked them for correction.
13
You are
of purer eyes than to behold evil,
And cannot look on wickedness.
Why do You look on those who deal treacherously,
And
hold Your tongue when the wicked devours
A
person
more righteous than he?
14
Why
do You make men like fish of the sea,
Like creeping things
that have
no ruler over them?
