Habakkuk 1:14-17

14 You make mankind like the fish of the sea,
like crawling things that have no ruler.
15 ^sHe ^{▼▼That is, the wicked foe} brings all of them up ^uwith a hook;
he drags them out with his net;
he gathers them in his dragnet;
so he rejoices and is glad.
16 ^vTherefore he sacrifices to his net
and makes offerings to his dragnet;
for by them he lives in luxury, ^{▼▼Hebrew his portion is fat}
and his food is rich.
17 Is he then to keep on emptying his net
^xand mercilessly killing nations forever?
