Habakkuk 1:6-9
6
I am raising up the Babylonians,
that ruthless and impetuous people,
who sweep across the whole earth
to seize dwelling places not their own.
7
They are a feared and dreaded people;
they are a law to themselves
and promote their own honor.
8
Their horses are swifter than leopards,
fiercer than wolves at dusk.
Their cavalry gallops headlong;
their horsemen come from afar.
They fly like a vulture swooping to devour;
9
they all come bent on violence.
Their hordes advance like a desert wind
and gather prisoners like sand.
