Readings for the Memorial of Saint Dominic, Priest Reading 1 Habakkuk 1:12—2:4 Are you not from eternity, O LORD,my holy God, immortal?O LORD, you have marked him for judgment,O Rock, you have readied him punishment!Too pure are your eyes to look upon evil,and the sight of misery you cannot endure.Why, then, do you gaze on the faithless in silencewhile the wicked man devoursone more just than himself?You have made man like the fish of the sea,like creeping things without a ruler.He brings them all up with his hook,he hauls them away with his net,He gathers them in his seine;and so he rejoices and exults.Therefore he sacrifices to his net,and burns incense to his seine;for thanks to them his portion is generous,and his repast sumptuous.Shall he, then, keep on brandishing his swordto slay peoples without mercy?I will stand at my guard post,and station myself upon the rampart,And keep watch to see what he will say to me,and what answer he will give to my complaint
