Habakkuk 1:17 meaning and explanation
Will he, therefore, empty his net and continue to slay nations without mercy?
Habakkuk 1:17, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Habakkuk is speaking to God, closing his complaint about the Babylonians, the ruthless power God has raised up to judge Judah. The image comes from the fishing scene in verses 14 to 16, where the foe hooks people like fish and hauls them in a dragnet, then worships the net as the source of his wealth.
