Commentary on Habakkuk 1:14

Theological / Devotional

Fishes. The righteous man is often as dumb and helpless under a wicked oppressor as fish are in the nets of fishermen. Creeping things. See Ps. 104:25. No ruler. In the Habakkuk Commentary of the Dead Sea scrolls this last clause reads, “As a crawling thing over which to rule” (see Gen. 1:26).
