Habakkuk 1:7-9

The Voice

⁷ That nation is terrifying people, is feared by everyone.
    It makes the rules and serves only its own interests.
⁸ Babylonia’s horses run faster than leopards,
    are fiercer than wolves when the sun goes down.
Its horsemen rush ahead with deadly force, galloping great distances;
    the troops swoop down like eagles ready to devour,
⁹ And Babylonia keeps on coming, hungry for violence.
    Hordes of determined faces are on the move like a hot east wind,
Scooping up captives like sand.
