Habakkuk 1:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ His horses are faster than leopards;
        they are quicker than wolves of the evening.
    His horsemen charge forward;
        his horsemen come from far away.
            They fly in to devour, swiftly, like an eagle.^[a]
9 They come for violence,
        the horde with all their faces set toward the desert.^[b]
He takes captives like sand.
¹⁰     He makes fun of kings;
rulers are ridiculous to him.
        He laughs at every fortress,
            then he piles up dirt and takes it.
