12 Are not You from antiquity — ADONAI my God, my Holy One? We will not die. ADONAI, You have ordained him for judgment — as You, O Rock, have established him to chasten.

13 With eyes too pure to see evil You cannot look at such trouble! Why do You look at the treacherous? Why do You remain silent when a wicked one swallows up those more righteous than him?

14 You made man like the fish of the sea, like a creeping thing — with no one ruling over him.
