Genesis 10:8-9
8Cush fathered Nimrod; he was the first on earth to be a mighty man. ▼▼Or he began to be a mighty man on the earth
9He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. Therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the Lord.” 2 Kings 23:29
29 bIn his days cPharaoh Neco king of Egypt went up to the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates. King Josiah went to meet him, and Pharaoh Neco killed him at dMegiddo, as soon as he saw him.2 Kings 23:33
33And ePharaoh Neco put him in bonds at fRiblah in the land of gHamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem, and laid on the land a tribute of a hundred talents ▼▼A talent was about 75 pounds or 34 kilograms
of silver and a talent of gold. Isaiah 19:8
8The ifishermen will mourn and lament,all who cast a hook in the Nile;
and they will languish
who spread nets on the water.
Ezekiel 47:9-10
9And wherever the river goes, ▼▼Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate, Targum; Hebrew the two rivers go
every living creature that swarms will live, and there will be very many fish. For this water goes there, that the waters of the sea ▼▼Hebrew lacks the waters of the sea
may become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes. 10Fishermen will stand beside the sea. From lEngedi to mEneglaim it will be a place for the spreading of nets. Its fish will be of very many kinds, like the fish of nthe Great Sea. ▼▼That is, the Mediterranean Sea; also verses 15, 19, 20
Habakkuk 1:14-15
14You make mankind like the fish of the sea,like crawling things that have no ruler.
15 pHe ▼
▼That is, the wicked foe
brings all of them up rwith a hook;he drags them out with his net;
he gathers them in his dragnet;
so he rejoices and is glad.
