Habakkuk 1:11-17 Webster Bible Translation (WBT)

11. Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power to his god.

12. Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, my 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: why lookest thou on them that deal treacherously, and keepest silence 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 animals 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 to their net, and burn incense to their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their food plenteous.

17. Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?
