14You have made men like fish in the sea, like sea creatures that have no ruler.


In Context

11 Then they sweep past like the wind and go on- guilty men, whose own strength is their god."

12 O Lord , are you not from everlasting? My God, my Holy One, we will not die. O Lord , you have appointed them to execute judgment; O Rock, you have ordained them to punish.

13 Your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot tolerate wrong. Why then do you tolerate the treacherous? Why are you silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves?

14 You have made men like fish in the sea, like sea creatures that have no ruler.

15 The wicked foe pulls all of them up with hooks, he catches them in his net, he gathers them up in his dragnet; and so he rejoices and is glad.

16 Therefore he sacrifices to his net and burns incense to his dragnet, for by his net he lives in luxury and enjoys the choicest food.
