Habakkuk 1:8-10

New Catholic Bible

⁸ Their horses are swifter than leopards
    and more frightening than wolves at dusk.
Their horses gallop on,
    with riders advancing from far away,
    swooping like eagles to devour their prey.
⁹ They are all bent on violence,
    a horde moving steadily forward like an east wind;
    they scoop up captives like sand.
¹⁰ They scoff at kings,
    they despise rulers.
They regard every fortress with contempt,
    as they build earthen ramps to conquer it.
