Habakkuk 1:8-10 New English Translation (NET)

8. Their horses are faster than leopardsand more alert than wolves in the desert.Their horses gallop,their horses come a great distance;like a vulture they swoop down quickly to devour their prey.

9. All of them intend to do violence;every face is determined.They take prisoners as easily as one scoops up sand.

10. They mock kingsand laugh at rulers.They laugh at every fortified city;they build siege ramps and capture them.
