Habakkuk 1:14 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Makest; not infusing cruel, ravenous, and unsatiable appetites, but permitting them to act according to such appetite which was already in them. Men; who should be just to all, and wrong none, who were once framed for mutual help in civil societies, and whose life should be beneficence. As the fishes; of which the greater live on the lesser, and do greedily and all the day long feed on the smaller fry. Of the sea; where the devourers are more for number, of greater bulk, and swallow greater numbers of the lesser. As the creeping things; which in the waters are food for the lesser fry; so the world, like the sea, is wholly oppression. No ruler; none to defend the weak, to restrain the mighty, and to give law to all.
