KJV ORIGINAL
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?
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
You're too pure to even look at evil — it's literally not in your nature to watch wrong things happen. So why are you just watching these backstabbers get away with everything? Why aren't you saying anything when evil people are destroying those who are actually trying to do right?
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
When you're confused why God seems silent while bad people win, you're asking the same question humans have always asked.
