Why lookest thou upon them that do unjust things, and holdest thy peace when the wicked devoureth the man that is more just than himself? 14And thou wilt make men as the fishes of the sea, and as the creeping things that have no ruler.15He lifted up all them with his hook, he drew them in his drag, and gathered them into his net: for this he will be glad and rejoice.…
