Habakkuk 1:8-12 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

8. "Their horses are swifter than leopards And keener than wolves in the evening. Their horsemen come galloping, Their horsemen come from afar; They fly like an eagle swooping down to devour.

9. "All of them come for violence. Their horde of faces moves forward. They collect captives like sand.

10. "They mock at kings And rulers are a laughing matter to them. They laugh at every fortress And heap up rubble to capture it.

11. "Then they will sweep through like the wind and pass on. But they will be held guilty, They whose strength is their god."

12. Are You not from everlasting, O Lord, my God, my Holy One? We will not die. You, O Lord, have appointed them to judge; And You, O Rock, have established them to correct.
