Commentary for Habakkuk 1:17

Because of this does he arm himself with his net There are many interrogative forms that are affirmative, e.g., (I Sam. 2:27) “Did I appear?” concerning Eli, and (II Sam. 15:27) “Do you see?” Here, too: Does it appear in Your eyes that because of this he prospers every time, in that he arms himself with his net over everyone and to hunt game? arms himself As in (Gen. 14:14) “And he armed (וַיָּרֶק) his trained men” and (Ps. 35:3): “Arm yourself (הָרֵק) with a spear.” He arms himself with his net.
