Habakkuk 1:16Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 versionTherefore will he offer victims to his drag, and he will sacrifice to his net: because through them his portion is made fat, and his meat dainty. See the chapter |
By the hand of thy servants thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said: With the multitude of my chariots I have gone up to the height of the mountains, to the top of Libanus: and I will out down its tall cedars and its choice fir-trees, and will enter to the top of its height, to the forest of its Carmel.
But we will certainly do every word that shall proceed out of our own mouth, to sacrifice to the queen of heaven and to pour out drink-offerings to her, as we and our fathers have done, our kings, and our princes in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem: and we were filled with bread, and it was well with us, and we saw no evil.
