Habakkuk 1:11-13
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
11 Then they sweep by like a wind and pass on, and they load themselves with guilt, [as do all men] whose own power is their god.
12 Are not You from everlasting, O Lord my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. O Lord, You have appointed [the Chaldean] to execute [Your] judgment, and You, O Rock, have established him for chastisement and correction.(A)
13 You are of purer eyes than to behold evil and can not look [inactively] upon injustice. Why then do You look upon the plunderer? Why are you silent when the wicked one destroys him who is more righteous than [the Chaldean oppressor] is?

New International Version
11 Then they sweep past like the wind(A) and go on—
guilty people, whose own strength is their god.”(B)
Habakkuk’s Second Complaint
12 Lord, are you not from everlasting?(C)
My God, my Holy One,(D) you[a] will never die.(E)
You, Lord, have appointed(F) them to execute judgment;
you, my Rock,(G) have ordained them to punish.
13 Your eyes are too pure(H) to look on evil;
you cannot tolerate wrongdoing.(I)
Why then do you tolerate(J) the treacherous?(K)
Why are you silent while the wicked
swallow up those more righteous than themselves?(L)
