Habakkuk 1:17 in Context — Habakkuk 1

15 Il les fait tous monter avec l’hameçon, Il les attire dans son filet, Il les assemble dans ses rets: Aussi est-il dans la joie et dans l’allégresse.

16 C’est pourquoi il sacrifie à son filet, Il offre de l’encens à ses rets; Car par eux sa portion est grasse, Et sa nourriture succulente.

17 Videra-t-il pour cela son filet, Et toujours égorgera-t-il sans pitié les nations?
