Habakkuk 1:7-12

7They are fierce and terrifying; their views of justice and sovereignty stem from themselves.

8Their horses are swifter than leopards and more fierce than wolves of the night. Their horsemen charge ahead; their horsemen come from distant lands. They fly like eagles, swooping to devour.

9All of them come to do violence; their faces are set in determination. They gather prisoners like sand.

10They mock kings, and rulers are a joke to them. They laugh at every fortress and build siege ramps to capture it.

11Then they sweep by like the wind and pass through. They are guilty; their strength is their god.

12Are you not from eternity, Lord my God? My Holy One, you will not die. Lord, you appointed them to execute judgment; my Rock, you destined them to punish us.
