Habakkuk 1:8-10

Modern English Version

⁸ Their horses are swifter than leopards,
    more fierce than evening wolves.
Their horsemen charge on;
    their horsemen come from afar;
they fly like the eagle that hastens to eat.
⁹     They all come for violence;
their forces advance like the east wind.
    They gather captives like sand.
¹⁰ They scoff at kings,
    and they scorn rulers.
They deride every stronghold,
    for they build up siege ramps to capture it.
