Thou that art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and that canst not look on perverseness, wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy peace when the wicked swalloweth up the man that is more righteous than he;

Before your holy eyes sin may not be seen, and you are unable to put up with wrong; why, then, are your eyes on the false? why do you say nothing when the evil-doer puts an end to one who is more upright than himself?

Οι οφθαλμοι σου ειναι καθαρωτεροι παρα ωστε να βλεπης τα πονηρα, και δεν δυνασαι να επιβλεπης εις την ανομιαν· δια τι επιβλεπεις εις τους παρανομους και σιωπας, οταν ο ασεβης καταπινη τον δικαιοτερον εαυτου,

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?
