1:12 Havakkuk’s second complaint

12Yahweh, 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.

13Your 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’re treacherous?

Why are you silent while the wicked destroy those who’re more godly than them?


14You’ve made those people like the fish of the sea

like reptiles that have no ruler.

15The 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.

16Therefore 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.


17So will he keep harvesting with his net?

Will he continue destroying nations without mercy?

2I’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.
