OEB Your eyes are too pure to look at evil,
 ⇔ you cannot condone iniquity.
 ⇔ So why do you regard the treacherous in silence,
 ⇔ while the wicked swallows the upright?

WEBBE You who have purer eyes than to see evil, and who cannot look on perversity, why do you tolerate those who deal treacherously and keep silent when the wicked swallows up the man who is more righteous than he,

WMBB (Same as above)

NET 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?

LSV Purer of eyes than to behold evil,
You are not able to look on perverseness,
Why do You behold the treacherous? You keep silent when the wicked
Swallow the more righteous than he,

FBV Your eyes are too pure to look upon evil; you cannot stand the sight of wrong. So why do you put up with untrustworthy people? Why are you silent when the wicked destroy those who do less evil than they do?

T4T You [SYN] are pure, and you cannot endure looking at what is evil,
 ⇔ so why are you ignoring men who are treacherous?
 ⇔ Why do you do nothing
 ⇔ to punish those wicked men from Babylonia
 ⇔ who destroy people who are more righteous than they are?

BBE Before your holy eyes sin may not be seen, and you are unable to put up with wrong; why, then, are your eyes on the false? why do you say nothing when the evil-doer puts an end to one who is more upright than himself?
