Habakkuk 1:7-9

Easy-to-Read Version

⁷ The Babylonians will scare the other people. They will do what they want to do and go where they want to go. ⁸ Their horses will be faster than leopards and more dangerous than wolves at sunset. Their horse soldiers will come from faraway places. They will attack their enemies quickly, like a hungry eagle swooping down from the sky. ⁹ The one thing they all want to do is fight. Their armies will march fast like the wind in the desert. And the Babylonian soldiers will take many prisoners—as many as the grains of sand.
