Habakkuk 1:9-11
English Standard Version
9 They all come (A)for violence,
all their faces forward.
They gather captives (B)like sand.
10 At kings they scoff,
and at rulers they laugh.
(C)They laugh at every fortress,
for (D)they pile up earth and take it.
11 Then they sweep by like the wind and go on,
(E)guilty men, (F)whose own might is their god!”
Habakkuk 1:9-11
King James Version
9 They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
10 And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.
11 Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.
