Habakkuk 1:13-15

New International Reader's Version

¹³ Your eyes are too pure to look at what is evil.
    You can’t put up with the wrong things people do.
So why do you put up
    with those who can’t be trusted?
The evil Babylonians swallow up
    those who are more godly than themselves.
    So why are you silent?
¹⁴ You have made people to be like the fish in the sea.
    They are like the sea creatures that don’t have a ruler.
¹⁵ The evil Babylonians pull all of them up with hooks.
    They catch them in their nets.
They gather them up.
    So they celebrate.
    They are glad.
