Habakkuk 1:12 in Context — Habakkuk 1

10 E escarnecerão dos reis, e zombarão dos príncipes; rirão de todas as fortalezas, porque amontoarão terra, e as tomarão.

11 Logo mudarão, e passarão adiante como o vento; porém culpado será quem confiar na força de seu deus.

12 Não és tu desde o princípio, ó SENHOR, meu Deus, meu Santo? Não morreremos. Ó SENHOR, tu os puseste para [executar] o julgamento; e tu, ó Rocha, os estabeleceste para castigar.

13 Teus olhos são puros demais para veres o mal, e não podes observar a opressão; ora, por que olharias aos enganadores, e calarias quando o perverso devora ao mais justo que ele?

14 Tornarias as pessoas como como os peixes do mar, como répteis que não têm quem os governe?
