Habakkuk 1:10-12

Modern English Version

¹⁰ They scoff at kings,
    and they scorn rulers.
They deride every stronghold,
    for they build up siege ramps to capture it.
¹¹ Then their mind changes,
    and they transgress and commit offense;
    their own power is their god.

¹² Are You not from everlasting,
    O Lord my God, my Holy One? We will not die.
O Lord, You have appointed them for judgment;
    and You, O Rock, have established them for correction.
