Habakkuk 1:14
Berean Standard Bible
You have made men like the fish of the sea, like creeping things that have no ruler.
Context
12Are You not from everlasting,
O LORD, my God, my Holy One?
We will not die.
O LORD, You have appointed them
to execute judgment;
O Rock, You have established them
for correction. 13Your eyes are too pure to look upon evil,
and You cannot tolerate wrongdoing.
So why do You tolerate the faithless?
Why are You silent
while the wicked swallow up
those more righteous than themselves? 14You have made men like the fish of the sea,
like creeping things that have no ruler. 15The foe pulls all of them up * with a hook;
he catches them in his dragnet,
and gathers them in his fishing net;
so he rejoices gladly. 16Therefore he sacrifices to his dragnet
and burns incense to his fishing net,
for by these things his portion is sumptuous
and his food is rich.
