14 How can you treat people like fish or like a swarm of insects that have no ruler to direct them?
15 The Babylonians catch people with hooks, as though they were fish. They drag them off in nets and shout for joy over their catch!
16 They even worship their nets and offer sacrifices to them, because their nets provide them with the best of everything.
17 Are they going to use their swords for ever and keep on destroying nations without mercy?
