Habakkuk 1:8-10

Tree of Life Version

⁸ Its horses are swifter than leopards,
fiercer than wolves at dusk.
Its horsemen come galloping.
Its horsemen are coming from afar.
They fly like a vulture,^[a] swooping down to eat.
⁹ All of them come for violence—
an assembling of faces to the east.
He gathers captives like sand.
¹⁰ He scoffs at kings,
and rulers are a joke to him.
He laughs at every stronghold—
he heaps up dirt and takes it.
