Habakkuk 1:10-12

Good News Translation

¹⁰ They treat kings with contempt and laugh at high officials. No fortress can stop them—they pile up earth against it and capture it. ¹¹ Then they sweep on like the wind and are gone, these men whose power is their god.”

Habakkuk Complains to the Lord Again

¹² Lord, from the very beginning you are God. You are my God, holy and eternal. Lord, my God and protector, you have chosen the Babylonians and made them strong so that they can punish us.
