Habakkuk 1:8-10

Revised Standard Version

⁸ Their horses are swifter than leopards,
    more fierce than the evening wolves;
    their horsemen press proudly on.
Yea, their horsemen come from afar;
    they fly like an eagle swift to devour.
⁹ They all come for violence;
    terror^[a] of them goes before them.
    They gather captives like sand.
¹⁰ At kings they scoff,
    and of rulers they make sport.
They laugh at every fortress,
    for they heap up earth and take it.
