Habakkuk 1:9-11

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁹ They all come for violence;
    terror^[a] of them goes before them.
    They gather captives like sand.
¹⁰ At kings they scoff,
    and of rulers they make sport.
They laugh at every fortress,
    for they heap up earth and take it.
¹¹ Then they sweep by like the wind and go on,
    guilty men, whose own might is their god!
