In Habakkuk a "drag" is a fishing net, and the prophet pictures a proud enemy who catches nations like fish. Interpretation: Tradition reads Habakkuk's picture as a warning that a conqueror who worships his own power will be punished. In the primary lessons: In science lessons: drag is air resistance or water resistance, a kind of friction; streamlined shapes like fish, rockets and racing bikes have less drag; parachutes use lots of drag. On computers: «drag and drop». In everyday safety, drag heavy bags rather than lifting them badly, or ask for help. Phrases: «drag and drop», «drag your feet» (be slow or unwilling), «what a drag», «drag on». ### examples - The violence of the wicked shall drag them away; because they refuse to do justly.
