16 1Therefore he sacrifices to his net and makes offerings to his dragnet; for by them he lives in luxury,[a] and his food is rich.

Habakkuk 1:16 In-Context

14 You make mankind like the fish of the sea, like crawling things that have no ruler.
15 He brings all of them up with a hook; he drags them out with his net; he gathers them in his dragnet; so he rejoices and is glad.
16 Therefore he sacrifices to his net and makes offerings to his dragnet; for by them he lives in luxury, and his food is rich.
17 Is he then to keep on emptying his net and mercilessly killing nations forever?
