Habakkuk 1:9-11

Complete Jewish Bible

⁹ All of them come for violence,
their faces set eagerly forward,
scooping up captives like sand.
¹⁰ They scoff at kings;
princes they deride.
They laugh at any fortress;
they pile up earth and take it.
¹¹ Then they sweep on like the wind,
but they become guilty,
because they make their strength their god.”
