Verse 14
Habakkuk asked the Lord why He had made people like fish and other sea creatures that apparently have no ruler over them.
"This statement probably represents the prophet’s most pointed accusation against the Almighty. In recognizing the sovereignty of God among the nations, he must conclude that God himself is ultimately behind this massive maltreatment of humanity." [Note: Robertson, p. 162.]
Big fish eat little fish, and bigger fish eat the big fish. The same thing was happening in Habakkuk’s world. Babylon was gobbling up the smaller nations, and Yahweh was not intervening to establish justice.
