New International Version (NIV)

14You have made people like the fish in the sea,

like the sea creatures that have no ruler.

14 Why have You made people like the fish of the sea,

Like crawling things that have no ruler over them?

14 Why have You made men like the fish of the sea,

Like creeping things without a ruler over them?

14Why do You make men like the fish of the sea,

Like reptiles and creeping things that have no ruler [and are helpless against their enemies]?

14You have made men like the fish of the sea,

like creeping things that have no ruler.

14You have made people to be like the fish in the sea.

They are like the sea creatures that don’t have a ruler.
