Habakkuk 1:15 in Context — Habakkuk 1

13 Teus olhos são puros demais para veres o mal, e não podes observar a opressão; ora, por que olharias aos enganadores, e calarias quando o perverso devora ao mais justo que ele?

14 Tornarias as pessoas como como os peixes do mar, como répteis que não têm quem os governe?

15 Ele tira a todos com anzol, em sua malha os ajunta, e os colhe em seu rede; por isso ele se alegra e tem prazer.

16 Por isso ele faz sacrifícios à sua malha, e oferece incensos à sua rede; porque com elas enriqueceu sua porção, e engordou sua comida.

17 Continuará ele, pois, a esvaziar a sua malha, e a matar as nações continuamente sem ter compaixão?
