\v 2 "Yahweh, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not hear?
2016-11-16 01:15:52 +00:00
\q I have cried out to you in horror, 'Violence!' but you will not save me.

\s5
\q
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\v 3 Why do you make me see iniquity and look upon wrongdoing?
2016-11-16 01:15:52 +00:00
\q Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and contention rises up.

\v 5 "Look at the nations and examine them; be amazed and astonished!
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q For I am surely about to do something in your days that you will not believe when it is reported to you.
\q
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\v 6 For look! I am about to raise up the Chaldeans—that fierce and impetuous nation—
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q they are marching throughout the breadth of the land to seize homes that were not their own.
\q
2016-11-16 01:15:52 +00:00
\v 7 They are terrifying and fearsome; their judgment and splendor proceed from themselves.

\v 8 Their horses also are swifter than leopards, quicker than the evening wolves.
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\q So their horses stamp,
2016-11-16 01:15:52 +00:00
\q and their horsemen come from a great distance—they fly like an eagle hurrying to eat.

\v 9 They all come for violence;
\q their multitudes go like the desert wind, and they gather captives like sand.
\f + \ft The Hebrew text translated here as \fqa their multitudes go like the desert wind \fqa* is very difficult; many modern versions have other interpretations. \f*

\q
2016-11-16 01:15:52 +00:00
\v 10 So they mock kings, and rulers are only a mockery for them.
\q They laugh at every stronghold, for they heap up earth and take them.

\s5
\q
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\v 13 Your eyes are too pure to gaze upon evil, and you are not able to look on wrongdoing with favor;
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q why then have you looked favorably on those who betray?
2016-10-03 16:04:36 +00:00
\q Why are you silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than they are?
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q
\v 14 You make men like fish in the sea, like creeping things without a ruler over them.
\s5
\q

\v 15 They bring up all of them with fishhooks; they drag men away in fishnets
2016-11-16 01:15:52 +00:00
\q and gather them in their net. This is why they rejoice and shout exuberantly.
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\v 16 Therefore they sacrifice to their fishing nets and burn incense to their net,
2016-11-16 01:15:52 +00:00
\q for fattened beasts are their portion, and the fatty meat is their food.
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q
2016-10-03 16:04:36 +00:00
\v 17 Will they therefore empty their fishing nets and continue to slaughter the nations, feeling no compassion?"
