Habakkuk 1:7-9

New International Version - UK

⁷ They are a feared and dreaded people;
    they are a law to themselves
    and promote their own honour.
⁸ Their horses are swifter than leopards,
    fiercer than wolves at dusk.
Their cavalry gallops headlong;
    their horsemen come from afar.
They fly like an eagle swooping to devour;
⁹     they all come intent on violence.
Their hordes^[a] advance like a desert wind
    and gather prisoners like sand.
