Habakkuk 1:9-11

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁹ They all come for violence,
    with faces pressing^[a] forward;
    they gather captives like sand.
¹⁰ At kings they scoff,
    and of rulers they make sport.
They laugh at every fortress,
    and heap up earth to take it.
¹¹ Then they sweep by like the wind;
    they transgress and become guilty;
    their own might is their god!
