Habakkuk 1:12-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
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?
15
The Chaldeans
bring all of them up with a hook,
Drag them away with their net,
And gather them together in their fishing net.
Therefore they rejoice and are joyful.
16
Therefore they offer a sacrifice to their net
And burn incense to their fishing net,
Because through these things their catch is large,
And their food is plentiful.
King James Version
Chapter 1
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?
15
They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.
16
Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 1
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.
15
The Chaldeans pull them all up with a hook,
catch them in their dragnet,
and gather them in their fishing net;
that is why they are glad and rejoice.
16
That is why they sacrifice to their dragnet
and burn incense to their fishing net,
for by these things their portion is rich
and their food plentiful.
New Living Translation
Chapter 1
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?
15
Must we be strung up on their hooks
and caught in their nets while they rejoice and celebrate?
16
Then they will worship their nets
and burn incense in front of them.
'These nets are the gods who have made us rich!'
they will claim.
English Standard Version
Chapter 1
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.
15
He brings all of them up with a hook;
he drags them out with his net;
he gathers them in his dragnet;
so he rejoices and is glad.
16
Therefore he sacrifices to his net
and makes offerings to his dragnet;
for by them he lives in luxury,
and his food is rich.
New International Version
Chapter 1
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.
15
The wicked foe pulls all of them up with hooks,
he catches them in his net,
he gathers them up in his dragnet;
and so he rejoices and is glad.
16
Therefore he sacrifices to his net
and burns incense to his dragnet,
for by his net he lives in luxury
and enjoys the choicest food.
New King James Version
Chapter 1
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?
15
They take up all of them with a hook,
They catch them in their net,
And gather them in their dragnet.
Therefore they rejoice and are glad.
16
Therefore they sacrifice to their net,
And burn incense to their dragnet;
Because by them their share
is
sumptuous
And their food plentiful.
