13 Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity; wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?

17 Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?

3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie; though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
4 Behold, his soul, which is lifted up is not upright in him; but the just shall live by his faith.
