Habakkuk 1:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ Their horses are faster than leopards
    and ·quicker [fiercer] than wolves ·at sunset [^Lof the evening].
Their ·horse soldiers [cavalry] attack quickly;
    they come from places far away.
They attack quickly, like an ·eagle [or vulture] ·swooping down for food [swift to devour].
⁹ They all come ·to fight [^Lfor violence].
·Nothing can stop them [or …a horde moving like an east wind; or …their faces set forward].
    Their prisoners are ·as many as the grains of [^Llike] sand.
¹⁰ They ·laugh at [mock] kings
    and make fun of rulers.
They laugh at all the ·strong, walled [fortified] cities
    and build ·dirt piles to the top of the walls [earthen siege ramps] to capture them.
