Habakkuk 1:15-17

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁵ The Babylonians can easily catch them,
    like people who catch fish with hooks.
They throw their nets into the water,
    and they catch as many as they want.
When they store their fish in special nets,
    they sing happy songs.
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]
