Habakkuk 1

⁸ Their horses are swifter than leopards, fiercer than wolves of the night. Their horsemen charge ahead, and their cavalry comes from afar. They fly like a vulture, swooping down to devour.

⁹ All of them come bent on violence; their hordes advance like the east wind; they gather prisoners like sand.

¹⁰ They scoff at kings and make rulers an object of scorn. They laugh at every fortress and build up siege ramps to seize it.

¹¹ Then they sweep by like the wind and pass through. They are guilty; their own strength 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 to execute judgment; O Rock, You have established them for correction.
