Habakkuk 1:16 in Context — Habakkuk 1
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?
