1:12 Havakkuk’s second complaint
12 Yahweh, aren’t you the eternal God?
You’re my heavenly protector who won’t die.
Yahweh you’ve appointed them for judgement.
≈Our rock, you’ve established them for punishment.
13 Your eyes are too pure to endure seeing evil,
≈and you’re not able to look on wrongdoing with favour.
Why then have you tolerated those who are treacherous?
≈Why are you silent while the wicked destroy those who are more godly than them?
14 You’ve made those people like the fish of the sea—
like reptiles that have no ruler.
15 The invader brings them all up with a fishhook.
≈He drags them up with his fishing net.
He catches them all in his drag net,
which makes him happily celebrate.
16 Therefore he sacrifices to his fishing net
≈and burns incense to his drag net,
because it’s his net that gives him plenty of food
≈and his food is the richest kind.
17 So will he keep harvesting with his net?
≈Will he continue destroying nations without mercy?
2 I’ll stand at my guard post and station myself on the watchtower,
and I’ll wait there to see what he will say to me,
and how I should respond when I’m corrected.
