Habakkuk 1:9-14 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

9. They come all of them for violence: the crowd of their faces is forwards, and they gather captives as the sand.

10. Yea, he scoffeth at kings, and princes are a scorn unto him; he derideth every stronghold: for he heapeth up dust, and taketh it.

11. Then will his mind change, and he will pass on, and become guilty: this his power is become his god

12. --Art thou not from everlasting, Jehovah my God my Holy One? We shall not die. Jehovah, thou hast ordained him for judgment; and thou, O Rock, hast appointed him for correction.

13. Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on mischief: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and keepest silence when the wicked swalloweth up a man more righteous than he?

14. And thou makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them.
