Habakkuk 1:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ The evil Babylonians pull all of them up with hooks.
    They catch them in their nets.
They gather them up.
    So they celebrate.
    They are glad.
¹⁶ They offer sacrifices to their nets.
    They burn incense to them.
Their nets allow them to live in great comfort.
    They enjoy the finest food.
¹⁷ Are you going to let them
    keep on emptying their nets?
Will they go on destroying nations
    without showing them any mercy?
