They catch them in their net,
And gather them in their dragnet.
Therefore they rejoice and are glad.
And burn incense to their dragnet;
Because by them their share is1 sumptuous
And their food plentiful.
And continue to slay nations without pity?

Habakkuk 1:17
Shall they . . . empty their net?—Shall they be allowed without interruption to enjoy the fruits of their violence?
therefore—seeing that they attribute all their successes to themselves, and not to Thee. The answer to the prophet's question, he by inspiration gives himself in the second chapter.
