Habakkuk 1:14-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
14
Why
have You made people like the fish of the sea,
Like crawling things that have no 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 joyful.
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.
King James Version
Chapter 1
14
And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
15
They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.
16
Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 1
14
You have made mankind
like the fish of the sea,
like marine creatures that have no ruler.
15
The Chaldeans pull them all up with a hook,
catch them in their dragnet,
and gather them in their fishing net;
that is why they are glad and rejoice.
16
That is why they sacrifice to their dragnet
and burn incense to their fishing net,
for by these things their portion is rich
and their food plentiful.
New Living Translation
Chapter 1
14
Are we only fish to be caught and killed?
Are we only sea creatures that have no leader?
15
Must we be strung up on their hooks
and caught in their nets while they rejoice and celebrate?
16
Then they will worship their nets
and burn incense in front of them.
'These nets are the gods who have made us rich!'
they will claim.
English Standard Version
Chapter 1
14
You make mankind like the fish of the sea,
like crawling things that have no ruler.
15
He brings all of them up with a hook;
he drags them out with his net;
he gathers them in his dragnet;
so he rejoices and is glad.
16
Therefore he sacrifices to his net
and makes offerings to his dragnet;
for by them he lives in luxury,
and his food is rich.
New International Version
Chapter 1
14
You have made people like the fish in the sea,
like the 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.
New King James Version
Chapter 1
14
Why
do You make men like fish of the sea,
Like creeping things
that have
no ruler over them?
15
They take up all of them with a hook,
They catch them in their net,
And gather them in their dragnet.
Therefore they rejoice and are glad.
16
Therefore they sacrifice to their net,
And burn incense to their dragnet;
Because by them their share
is
sumptuous
And their food plentiful.
