Habakkuk 1:8-10
King James Version
8 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.
9 They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
10 And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.

Habakkuk 1:8-10
New King James Version
8 Their horses also are (A)swifter than leopards,
And more fierce than evening wolves.
Their [a]chargers [b]charge ahead;
Their cavalry comes from afar;
They fly as the (B)eagle that hastens to eat.
9 “They all come for violence;
Their faces are set like the east wind.
They gather captives like sand.
10 They scoff at kings,
And princes are scorned by them.
They deride every stronghold,
For they heap up earthen mounds and seize it.

New American Standard Bible
8 Their (A)horses are faster than leopards,
And quicker than (B)wolves in the evening.
Their [a]horsemen charge along,
Their [b]horsemen come from afar;
They fly like an (C)eagle [c]swooping down to devour.
9 All of them come for violence.
[d]Their horde of (D)faces moves forward.
They gather captives like sand.
10 They (E)make fun of kings,
And dignitaries are an object of laughter to them.
They (F)laugh at every fortress,
Then (G)heap up dirt and [e]capture it.
