Habakkuk 1:7-12
7They are dreadedH366 and 1fearedH3372; Their 2justiceH4941 and 3authorityH7613 4originateH3318 with themselves.8Their 5horsesH5483 are swifterH7043 thanH4480 leopardsH5246 And 6keenerH2300 thanH4480 7wolvesH2061 in the eveningH6153. Their 8horsemenH6571 comeH935 gallopingH6335, Their horsemenH6571 comeH935 from afarH7350; They flyH5774 like an 9eagleH5404 swoopingH2363 down to devourH398.9AllH3605 of them comeH935 for violenceH2555. 10Their hordeH4041 of 11facesH6440 moves forwardH6921. They collectH622 captivesH7628 like sandH2344.10They 12mockH7046 at kingsH4428 And rulersH7336 are a laughingH4890 matter to them. They 13laughH7832 at everyH3605 fortressH4013 And 14heapH6651 up rubbleH6083 to captureH3920 it.11ThenH227 they will sweepH2498 throughH2498 like the 15windH7307 and passH5674 on. But they will be heldH816 16guiltyH816, They whoseH2098 17strengthH3581 is their godH433.”
12Are You not from 18everlastingH6924, O LordH3068, my GodH430, my HolyH6918 OneH6918? We will not dieH4191. You, O LordH3068, have 19appointedH7760 them to judgeH4941; And You, O 20RockH6697, have establishedH3245 them to correctH3198.
