Habakkuk 1:15 in Context — Habakkuk 1

13 Muy limpio eres de ojos para ver el mal, ni puedes ver el agravio: ¿por qué ves los menospreciadores, y callas cuando destruye el impío al más justo que él,

14 Y haces que sean los hombres como los peces de la mar, como reptiles que no tienen señor?

15 Sacará á todos con anzuelo, cogerálos con su red, y juntarálos en su aljerife: por lo cual se holgará y hará alegrías.

16 Por esto hará sacrificios á su red, y ofrecerá sahumerios á su aljerife: porque con ellos engordó su porción, y engrasó su comida.

17 ¿Vaciará por eso su red, ó tendrá piedad de matar gentes continuamente?
