Habakkuk 1:15-17

Revised Standard Version

¹⁵ He brings all of them up with a hook,
    he drags them out with his net,
he gathers them in his seine;
    so he rejoices and exults.
¹⁶ Therefore he sacrifices to his net
    and burns incense to his seine;
for by them he lives in luxury,^[a]
    and his food is rich.
¹⁷ Is he then to keep on emptying his net,
    and mercilessly slaying nations for ever?
