Context
Habakkuk Voices Some Concerns
1:12 Lord , you have been active from ancient times ; my sovereign God , you are immortal . Lord , you have made them your instrument of judgment . Protector , you have appointed them as your instrument of punishment .
1:13 You are too just to tolerate evil ; you are unable to condone wrongdoing . So why do you put up with such treacherous people ? Why do you say nothing when the wicked devour those more righteous than they are?
1:14 You made people like fish in the sea , like animals in the sea that have no ruler .
1:15 The Babylonian tyrant pulls them all up with a fishhook ; he hauls them in with his throw net . When he catches them in his dragnet , he is very happy .
1:16 Because of his success he offers sacrifices to his throw net and burns incense to his dragnet ; for because of them he has plenty of food , and more than enough to eat .
1:17 Will he then continue to fill and empty his throw net ? Will he always destroy nations and spare none ?
