Habakkuk 1:7-12

7They are terrifyingH366 and 1fearedH3372; Their 2justiceH4941 and 3authorityH7613 4originateH3318 with themselves.8Their 5horsesH5483 areH7043 fasterH7043 thanH4480 leopardsH5246, And quickerH2300 thanH4480 6wolvesH2061 in the eveningH6153. Their 7horsemenH6571 chargeH6335 alongH6335, Their 8horsemenH6571 comeH935 from afarH7350; They flyH5774 like an 9eagleH5404 10swoopingH2363 downH2363 to devourH398.9AllH3605 of them comeH935 for violenceH2555. 11Their hordeH4041 of 12facesH6440 movesH6923 forwardH6923. They gatherH622 captivesH7628 like sandH2344.10They 13makeH7046 funH7046 of kingsH4428, And dignitariesH7336 are an object of laughterH4890 to them. They 14laughH7832 at everyH3605 fortressH4013, Then 15heapH6651 upH6651 dirtH6083 and 16captureH3920 it.11ThenH227 they flyH2498 alongH2498 like the 17windH7307 and passH5674 onH5674. But they will be heldH816 18guiltyH816, They whoseH2098 19strengthH3581 is their godH433.”

12Are You not from 20timeH6924 everlastingH6924, LordH3068, my GodH430, my HolyH6918 OneH6918? We will not dieH4191. You, LordH3068, have 21appointedH7760 them to deliver judgmentH4941; And You, O 22RockH6697, have destinedH3245 them to punishH3198.
