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.
