Habakkuk 1:10-12

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁰ They insult kings,
    and they laugh at rulers.
They laugh at all the strong cities of their enemies.
They build heaps of earth against the walls,
    and they take those cities for themselves.
¹¹ Their army quickly moves on to another place,
    like a wind that blows.
They think that their own god has made them strong,
    and so they are guilty.’^[a]

¹² Lord, you have always been God,
    since the beginning.
You are the God that I worship as holy,
    and you will never die.
Lord, you have chosen the Babylonians
    as your weapon to punish your people.
You are a strong rock to protect us,
    but you have decided to use them to punish us.
