Habakkuk 1:8-10

EasyEnglish Bible

⁸ Their horses run faster than leopards.
They are more cruel than wolves
    that attack in the evening.
Their riders come on fast horses
    from places that are far away.
They quickly attack their enemies,
    like hungry eagles that fly down to catch chickens.
⁹ Their whole army comes to do violent things.
    They march forward like a wind from the desert.
They make people their prisoners,
    as easily as if they are picking up sand.
¹⁰ They insult kings,
    and they laugh at rulers.
They laugh at all the strong cities of their enemies.
They build heaps of earth against the walls,
    and they take those cities for themselves.
