1:15The Babylonian tyrant49 pulls them all up with a fishhook;
he hauls them in with his throw net.50
When he catches51 them in his dragnet,
he is very happy.52
Footnotes
- 49 Heb “he”; the referent (the Babylonian tyrant) has been specified in the translation for clarity (cf. “The Chaldeans”; “The wicked foe”; “The enemy”). Babylonian imperialism is here compared to a professional fisherman who repeatedly brings in his catch and has plenty to eat.
- 50 Apparently two different types of fishing nets are referred to here. The חֵרֶם (kherem, “throw net”) was used by fishermen standing on the shore (see Ezek 47:10), while the מִכְמֶרֶת (mikhmeret, “dragnet”) was used by men in a boat. See R. D. Patterson, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah (), 165.
- 51 Heb “and he gathers.”
- 52 Heb “Therefore he is happy and rejoices.” Here two synonyms are joined for emphasis.
