Habakkuk 1:16 in Context — Habakkuk 1
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?
