Habakkuk 1:15 Context
13Thou art of purer eyes then to beholde euill, and canst not looke on ininquitie: wherefore lookest thou vpon them that deale treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked deuoureth the man that is more righteous then hee? 14And makest men as the fishes of the Sea, as the creeping things, that haue no ruler ouer them. 15They take vp all of them with the angle: they catch them in their net, and gather them in their dragge; therefore they reioyce and are glad. 16Therefore they sacrifice vnto their net, and burne incense vnto their drag: because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous. 17Shall they therefore emptie their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?
