1:7 They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.
1:8 And their horses are swifter than the leopards, and are more agile than the evening wolves; and their horsemen prance proudly, and their horsemen come from afar: they fly as an eagle that hasteth to devour.
1:9 They come all of them for violence: the crowd of their faces is forwards, and they gather captives as the sand.

1:13 [Thou art] of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on mischief: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, [and] keepest silence when the wicked swalloweth up a [man] more righteous than he?
1:14 And thou makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them.
1:15 He taketh up all of them with the hook, he catcheth them in his net, and gathereth them into his drag; therefore he rejoiceth and is glad:
1:16 therefore he sacrificeth unto his net, and burneth incense unto his drag; for by them his portion is become fat, and his meat dainty.
1:17 Shall he therefore empty his net, and not spare to slay the nations continually?
