Habakkuk 1:10-12

Revised Standard Version

¹⁰At kings they scoff,
    and of rulers they make sport.
They laugh at every fortress,
    for they heap up earth and take it.
¹¹Then they sweep by like the wind and go on,
    guilty men, whose own might is their god!

¹²Art thou not from everlasting,
    O Lord my God, my Holy One?
    We shall not die.
O Lord, thou hast ordained them as a judgment;
    and thou, O Rock, hast established them for chastisement.
