Habakkuk 1:12 in Context — Habakkuk 1

10 Y escarnecerá de los reyes, y de los príncipes hará burla: reiráse de toda fortaleza, y amontonará polvo, y la tomará.

11 Luego mudará espíritu, y pasará adelante, y ofenderá [atribuyendo] esta su potencia á su dios.

13 Muy limpio eres de ojos para ver el mal, ni puedes ver el agravio: ¿por qué ves los menospreciadores, y callas cuando destruye el impío al más justo que él,

14 Y haces que sean los hombres como los peces de la mar, como reptiles que no tienen señor?
