12hArt thou not from everlasting,
O Lord my God, mine Holy One? iwe shall not die.
O Lord, kthou hast ordained them for judgment;
And, O †mighty God, kthou hast †established them for correction.
13Thou art of purer eyes than to lbehold evil,
And canst not look on ||iniquity:
mWherefore lookest thou upon them mnthat deal treacherously,
And oholdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth pthe man that is more righteous than he?

ESVEnglish Standard Version
Are you not from everlasting,
O Lord my God, my Holy One?
We shall not die.
O Lord, you have ordained them as a judgment,
and you, O Rock, have established them for reproof.
You who are of purer eyes than to see evil
and cannot look at wrong,
why do you idly look at traitors
and remain silent when the wicked swallows up
the man more righteous than he?

NIVNew International Version (2011)
Lord, are you not from everlasting?
My God, my Holy One, you will never die.
You, Lord, have appointed them to execute judgment;
you, my Rock, have ordained them to punish.
Your eyes are too pure to look on evil;
you cannot tolerate wrongdoing.
Why then do you tolerate the treacherous?
Why are you silent while the wicked
swallow up those more righteous than themselves?

CSBChristian Standard Bible
Are you not from eternity, Lord my God?
My Holy One, you will not die.
Lord, you appointed them to execute judgment;
my Rock, you destined them to punish us.
Your eyes are too pure to look on evil,
and you cannot tolerate wrongdoing.
So why do you tolerate those who are treacherous?
Why are you silent
while one who is wicked swallows up
one who is more righteous than himself?

NLTNew Living Translation
O Lord my God, my Holy One, you who are eternal—
surely you do not plan to wipe us out?
O Lord, our Rock, you have sent these Babylonians to correct us,
to punish us for our many sins.
But you are pure and cannot stand the sight of evil.
Will you wink at their treachery?
Should you be silent while the wicked
swallow up people more righteous than they?

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
Are you not from of old,
O Yahweh my God, my Holy One?
You shall not die.
O Yahweh, you have marked them for judgment;
O Rock, you have established them for reproof.
Your eyes are too pure to see evil,
and you are not able to look at wrongdoing.
Why do you look at the treacherous?
Why are you silent when the wicked swallows up
someone more righteous than him?
