15
The enemy a 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 makes offerings to his seine; for by them his portion is lavish, and his food is rich.
17
Is he then to keep on emptying his net, and destroying nations without mercy?
