Habakkuk 1:7-12

7They are terrible and dreadful; their judgmentH4941 and their dignityH7613 proceed from themselves. 8Their horsesH5483 also are swifter than leopardsH5246, and are more fierce than the eveningH6153 wolvesH2061; and their horsemenH6571 press proudly on: yea, their horsemenH6571 comeH935 from farH7350; they flyH5774 as an eagleH5404 that hasteth to devourH398. 9They comeH935 all of them for violenceH2555; the set of their facesH6440 is forwards; and they gatherH622 captivesH7628 as the sandH2344. 10Yea, he scoffeth at kingsH4428, and princes are a derision unto him; he derideth every stronghold; for he heapeth up dustH6083, and taketh it. 11ThenH227 shall he sweep by as a windH7307, and shall passH5674 over, and be guiltyH816, even he whose might is his godH430.

12Art not thou from everlasting, O Jehovah my GodH430, my HolyH6918 OneH6918? we shall not dieH4191. O Jehovah, thou hast ordained him for judgmentH4941; and thou, O RockH6697, hast establishedH3245 him for correction.
