Habakkuk 1:9-11

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁹ All of them come to commit violence. Their hordes blow by like the desert wind^[a] and sweep up prisoners like sand. ¹⁰ They mock kings, and rulers are subjected to scorn. They laugh at every fortified city. They heap up siege ramps and capture cities. ¹¹ But then the wind blows and passes over them,^[b] and they will bear their guilt—these men whose own strength is their god.
