17;

mercy? (8)

9 they all come intent on
violence. Their
hordes advance like a desert wind and gather prisoners like sand.

8 Their horses are swifter than
leopards, fiercer than wolves at dusk. Their cavalry gallops headlong;
their horsemen come from afar. They
fly like an eagle swooping to devour;

16 Therefore he sacrifices to his
net and burns incense to his
dragnet, for
by his net he lives in luxury and enjoys the choicest
food. (7)

7 They are a feared and dreaded
people; they are a law to themselves and promote their own honor. (7)

13 Your Eyes(Jesus) are too pure to look on evil; You cannot tolerate wrongdoing. Why then do You tolerate the
treacherous? Why
are You silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves? (4)
14 You(Jesus) have made people like the fish in the sea, like the sea creatures that have no ruler.
15 The wicked foe pulls all of them up with hooks, he catches them in his net, he gathers them up in his dragnet; and so he rejoices and is glad.

perverted. (4)
The Lord’s Answer
5 “Look at the nations and watch— and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in
your days that
you would not believe, even if you were told.
6 I am(Jesus) raising up the Babylonians, that ruthless and impetuous people, who sweep across the whole earth to seize dwellings not their own.

10 They mock kings and scoff at rulers. They laugh at all fortified
cities; by
building earthen ramps they capture them. (1)
11 Then they sweep past like the wind and go on— guilty people, whose own strength is their god.”

Habakkuk’s Second
Complaint
12 Lord,
are You not from everlasting? My God, my Holy One, You will never die. You, Lord, have appointed them to execute judgment; You, my Rock, have ordained
them to punish.

Habakkuk’s
Complaint
2 How long, Lord,
must I call for help, but You do not listen? Or cry out to You, “Violence!” but You do not save?
3 Why do You make me look at injustice? Why do You tolerate wrongdoing? Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and conflict abounds.
