Habakkuk 1:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸ “Their horses are faster than leopards, fiercer than hungry wolves. Their cavalry troops come riding from distant lands; their horses paw the ground. They come swooping down like eagles attacking their prey.

⁹ “Their armies advance in violent conquest, and everyone is terrified as they approach.^[a] Their captives are as numerous as grains of sand. ¹⁰ They treat kings with contempt and laugh at high officials. No fortress can stop them—they pile up earth against it and capture it.
