New Testament

Habakkuk 1:13-17 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

13. You are of purer eyes than to behold evil, and can not look on iniquity: why do you look upon them that deal treacherously, and hold your tongue when the wicked devours the man that is more righteous than he?

14. And make men like the fish of the sea, like the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?

15. They take up all of them with the hook, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their dragnet: therefore they rejoice and are glad.

16. Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their dragnet; because by them their portion is luxurious, and their food plentiful.

17. Shall they therefore empty their net, and continually slay the nations without mercy?
