Habakkuk 1:9-11

New Living Translation

⁹ “On they come, all bent on violence.
    Their hordes advance like a desert wind,
    sweeping captives ahead of them like sand.
¹⁰ They scoff at kings and princes
    and scorn all their fortresses.
They simply pile ramps of earth
    against their walls and capture them!
¹¹ They sweep past like the wind
    and are gone.
But they are deeply guilty,
    for their own strength is their god.”
