Habakkuk 1:7-9
Contemporary English Version
Habakkuk 1:7-9
Contemporary English Version
7 How fearsome and frightening.
Their only laws and rules
are the ones they make up.
8 Their cavalry troops are faster
than leopards,
more ferocious than wolves
hunting at sunset,
and swifter than hungry eagles
suddenly swooping down.
9 They are eager to destroy,[a]
and they gather captives
like handfuls of sand.
