1:16Because of his success53 he offers sacrifices to his throw net
and burns incense to his dragnet;54
for because of them he has plenty of food,55
and more than enough to eat.56
Footnotes
- 53 Heb “therefore.”
- 54 The fishing implements (throw net and dragnet) represent Babylonian military might. The prophet depicts the Babylonians as arrogantly worshiping their own power (sacrifices … burns incense, see also v. 11b).
- 55 Heb “for by them his portion is full [or, “fat”].”
- 56 Heb “and his food is plentiful [or, “fat”].”
