Habakkuk 1:14 - The Message

You’re treating men and women
   as so many fish in the ocean,
Swimming without direction,
   swimming but not getting anywhere.
Then this evil Babylonian arrives and goes fishing.
   He pulls in a good catch.
He catches his limit and fills his creel—
   a good day of fishing! He’s happy!
He praises his rod and reel,
   piles his fishing gear on an altar and worships it!
It’s made his day,
   and he’s going to eat well tonight!
