Habakkuk 1:9-14 American Standard Version (ASV)

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

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

11. Then shall he sweep by as a wind, and shall pass over, and be guilty, even he whose might is his god.

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

13. Thou that art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and that canst not look on perverseness, wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy peace when the wicked swalloweth up the man that is more righteous than he;

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