10 The Babylonian soldiers laugh at kings.
    They make fun of rulers.
They laugh at all the strong, walled cities.
    They build dirt roads up to the top of the walls.
    They capture the cities.
11 Then they leave like the wind and move on.
    They are guilty of worshiping their own strength.”

Habakkuk Complains Again

12 Lord, you are the Lord who lives forever.
    You are my God, my holy God.

Lord, you have chosen the Babylonians to punish people.
    Our Rock, you created them to punish the people.
