The speaker asks the LORD why he tolerates those who deal treacherously

말하는 이가 궤휼한 자들을 방관하시는 까닭을 여호와께 묻는 말

Habakkuk 1:12–17: the speaker (“I”) says, “Aren’t you from everlasting, LORD my God, my Holy One? We will not die. LORD, you have appointed them for judgment. You, Rock, have established him to punish. You who have purer eyes than to see evil, and who cannot look on perversity, why do you tolerate those who deal treacherously and keep silent when the wicked swallows up the man who is more righteous than he, and make men like the fish of the sea, like the creeping things that have no ruler over them? He takes up all of them with the hook. He catches them in his net and gathers them in his dragnet. Therefore he rejoices and is glad. Therefore he sacrifices to his net and burns incense to his dragnet, because by them his life is luxurious and his food is good. Will he therefore continually empty his net, and kill the nations without mercy?” WEB names no speaker at 1:12. The Korean Revised Version opens 1:12 with 선지가 가로되, the prophet said, and reads there 그를 두셨나이다, appointed him, where WEB reads “you have appointed them”.
