Habakkuk / Question
Question source
Habakkuk
Habakkuk compares people to fish and creeping things with no ruler, and the conqueror to one who hooks, drags, and gathers them in a net. The image emphasizes capture, control, and exploitation. The metaphor is in Habakkuk 1:14–15.
14and make men like the fish of the sea, like the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
15He takes up all of them with the hook. He catches them in his net, and gathers them in his dragnet. Therefore he rejoices and is glad.
