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 silentwhile one who is wicked swallows upone who is more righteous than himself?
14. You have made mankindlike 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 dragnetand burn incense to their fishing net,for by these things their portion is richand their food plentiful.
17. Will they therefore empty their net and continually slaughter nations without mercy?
