Habakkuk 1:15-17
Lexham English Bible
15 He brings up all of them with a fishhook;
he drags them up with a fishnet;
he gathers them in his dragnet.
Therefore, he rejoices and exults.
16 Therefore he sacrifices to his fishnet
and makes offerings to his dragnet,
for by them he makes a good living[a]
and his food is rich.
17 Will he therefore empty his fishnet
and continually kill nations without showing mercy?

and burns incense(D) to his dragnet,

and enjoys the choicest food.

destroying nations without mercy?(E)
