Habakkuk 3:12-14

Easy-to-Read Version

¹²In anger you walked on the earth
    and punished the nations.
¹³You came to save your people
    and to lead your chosen king^[a] to victory.
You killed the leader in every evil family,
    from the least important person
    to the most important in the land.^[b] Selah

¹⁴You used Moses’ walking stick
    to stop the enemy soldiers.
Those soldiers came
    like a powerful storm to fight against us.
They thought they could defeat us easily,
    as robbing the poor in secret.
