Habakkuk 3:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 He stood and measured the earth: he beheld and dissolved the nations, and the everlasting mountains were broken, and the ancient hills did bow: his [a]ways are everlasting.
7 [b]For his iniquity I saw the tents of Cushan, and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
8 Was the Lord angry against the [c]rivers? or was thine anger against the floods? or was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride [d]upon thine horses? thy chariots brought salvation.
