Habakkuk 1:10-12

New Century Version

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

¹² Lord, you live forever,
    my God, my holy God.
    We will not die.
Lord, you have chosen the Babylonians to punish people;
    our Rock, you picked them to punish.
