Habakkuk 1:8-10
New Century Version
Habakkuk 1:8-10
New Century Version
8 Their horses are faster than leopards
and quicker than wolves at sunset.
Their horse soldiers attack quickly;
they come from places far away.
They attack quickly, like an eagle swooping down for food.
9 They all come to fight.
Nothing can stop them.
Their prisoners are as many as the grains of sand.
10 They laugh at kings
and make fun of rulers.
They laugh at all the strong, walled cities
and build dirt piles to the top of the walls to capture them.

Their hordes[a] advance like a desert wind
and gather prisoners(C) like sand.

and scoff at rulers.(D)
They laugh at all fortified cities;
by building earthen ramps(E) they capture them.
