Yahweh Has Placed Them to Judge
12 Are You not from aeverlasting,
O Yahweh, my God, my Holy One?
We will not die.
You, O Yahweh, have bplaced them to judge;
And You, O cRock, have established them to reprove.
13 Your eyes are too apure to see evil,
And You cannot look on trouble.
Why do You blook
On those who deal ctreacherously?
Why are You dsilent when the wicked eswallow up
Those more righteous than they?
14 And You have made men like the fish of the sea,
Like creeping things without a ruler over them.
15 The Chaldeans abring all of them up with a hook,
bDrag them away with their net,
And gather them together in their fishing net.
Therefore they are glad and rejoice.
16 Therefore they offer a sacrifice to their net
And burn incense to their fishing net
Because through athese things their portion is rich
And their food is fat.
17 Will they therefore empty their anet
And continually bkill nations without sparing?
