Angle
ang’l: Used in Isa 19:8 for a Hebrew noun that is rendered hook in Job 41:1 : The fishers shall lament, and all they that cast angle (hook) into the Nile shall mourn. For a striking figurative use of it see Hab 1:15 where, speaking of the wicked devouring the righteous, making men as the fishes of the sea, the prophet says: They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net (the Revised Version (British and American) uses singular).

Fishing was very common in Egypt, not only with the net, but with the line and hook, Isa 19:8; and the same were used by the Israelites, for nets are often referred to, and the fish that had the piece of money in its mouth was caught with a hook. Mat 17:27. In Hab 1:15 the same things are referred to symbolically for the catching of men for captivity. The apostles of the Lord were made fishers of men.

Isa 19:8 (b) This action indicates that when GOD cursed Egypt then their labors for food and for the necessities of life would be fruitless. They would have difficulty obtaining those things which they needed for daily use. They were enemies of GOD, therefore His curse was upon them.
Hab 1:15 (b) The action in this passage may be taken to mean that there are treacherous dealers who will be caught by the wicked either on their hook or in their net to their own sorrow and destruction. Because the wicked are successful in capturing their prey, they exalt and glorify the methods which they use. In the present day this may be a picture of the methods and programs used by false religious leaders to gain adherents.
