Habakkuk 1:13-15
Lexham English Bible
13 Your eyes are too pure to see evil,
and you are not able to look at wrongdoing.[a]
Why do you look at the treacherous?
Why are you silent when the wicked swallows up
someone more righteous than him?
14 You make humankind like fish of the sea,
like crawling creatures that have no ruler among them.
15 He brings up all of them with a fishhook;
he drags them up with a fishnet;
he gathers them in his dragnet.
Therefore, he rejoices and exults.

like the sea creatures that have no ruler.
15 The wicked(F) foe pulls all of them up with hooks,(G)
he catches them in his net,(H)
he gathers them up in his dragnet;
and so he rejoices and is glad.
