13. Your eyes are too pure to look on evil;you cannot tolerate wrongdoing.Why then do you tolerate the treacherous?Why are you silent while the wickedswallow up those more righteous than themselves?
14. You have made people like the fish in the sea,like the sea creatures that have no ruler.
15. The wicked foe pulls all of them up with hooks,he catches them in his net,he gathers them up in his drag-net;and so he rejoices and is glad.
16. Therefore he sacrifices to his netand burns incense to his drag-net,for by his net he lives in luxuryand enjoys the choicest food.
17. Is he to keep on emptying his net,destroying nations without mercy?
