Habakkuk 1:13-15
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
13 Thy eyes are too pure to behold evil, and thou canst not look on iniquity. Why lookest thou upon them that do unjust things, and holdest thy peace when the wicked devoureth the man that is more just than himself?
14 And thou wilt make men as the fishes of the sea, and as the creeping things that have no ruler.
15 He lifted up all them with his hook, he drew them in his drag, and gathered them into his net: for this he will be glad and rejoice.

Habakkuk 1:13-15
New International Version
13 Your eyes are too pure(A) to look on evil;
you cannot tolerate wrongdoing.(B)
Why then do you tolerate(C) the treacherous?(D)
Why are you silent while the wicked
swallow up those more righteous than themselves?(E)
14 You have made people like the fish in the sea,
like the sea creatures that have no ruler.
15 The wicked(F) foe pulls all of them up with hooks,(G)
he catches them in his net,(H)
he gathers them up in his dragnet;
and so he rejoices and is glad.
