Habakkuk 1:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷ They spread fear and terror, and in their pride they are a law to themselves.

⁸ “Their horses are faster than leopards, fiercer than hungry wolves. Their cavalry troops come riding from distant lands; their horses paw the ground. They come swooping down like eagles attacking their prey.

⁹ “Their armies advance in violent conquest, and everyone is terrified as they approach.^[a] Their captives are as numerous as grains of sand.
