Habakkuk 1:14

14 Why have You made men like the fish of the sea, Like creeping things without a ruler over them?

Habakkuk 1:14 In-Context

12 Are You not from everlasting, O LORD , my God, my Holy One? We will not die. You, O LORD , have appointed them to judge; And You, O Rock, have established them to correct.
13 Your eyes are too pure to approve evil, And You can not look on wickedness with favor. Why do You look with favor On those who deal treacherously? Why are You silent when the wicked swallow up Those more righteous than they?
14 Why have You made men like the fish of the sea, Like creeping things without a ruler over them?
15 The Chaldeans bring all of them up with a hook, Drag them away with their net, And gather them together in their fishing net. Therefore they rejoice and are glad.
16 Therefore they offer a sacrifice to their net And burn incense to their fishing net; Because through these things their catch is large, And their food is plentiful.
