Habakkuk 1:5-10

5“Look among the nations! Observe! Astonish yourself! Be astounded! For a work is being done in your days. You will not believe it if it were told.

9All of them come for violence— an assembling of faces to the east. He gathers captives like sand.

10He scoffs at kings, and rulers are a joke to him. He laughs at every stronghold— he heaps up dirt and takes it.
