New Testament

Habakkuk 1:13-17 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

13. Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on mischief: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and keepest silence when the wicked swalloweth up a man more righteous than he?

14. And thou makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them.

15. He taketh up all of them with the hook, he catcheth them in his net, and gathereth them into his drag; therefore he rejoiceth and is glad:

16. therefore he sacrificeth unto his net, and burneth incense unto his drag; for by them his portion is become fat, and his meat dainty.

17. Shall he therefore empty his net, and not spare to slay the nations continually?
