12Are You not from aeverlasting,O Yahweh, my God, my HolyOne?We will not die.You, O Yahweh, have bplaced them to judge;And You, O cRock, have established them to reprove.13Youreyes are tooapure to seeevil,And You cannotlook on trouble.Why do You blookOn those who dealctreacherously?Whyare You dsilent when the wickedeswallow upThose morerighteousthan they?14And You have mademen like the fish of the sea,Like creepingthingswithout a ruler over them.15The Chaldeansabringall of them up with a hook,bDrag them away with their net,And gather them together in their fishingnet.Therefore they are glad and rejoice.16Therefore they offerasacrifice to their netAnd 1burnincense to their fishingnetBecause through athesethings their portion is richAnd their food is fat.17Will they therefore empty their anetAnd continuallybkillnationswithoutsparing?
