Habakkuk 1:16-17
EasyEnglish Bible
16 Their nets give them everything that they need,
so they offer sacrifices to their nets.
Their nets give them plenty of good food to eat,
so they burn incense to thank their nets.
17 Will you let them continue to do that?
Will they make their nets full of fish
as many times as they want to?
Will they continue to destroy other nations
and never stop?[a]
Footnotes
- 1:17 Habakkuk cannot understand why God will use cruel people like the Babylonians as his weapon. The Babylonians catch prisoners, like men who catch fish with hooks and nets.
