Habakkuk 1:7-9

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷ Dread and terrible are they;
    their justice and dignity proceed from themselves.
⁸ Their horses are swifter than leopards,
    more fierce than the evening wolves;
    their horsemen press proudly on.
Yea, their horsemen come from afar;
    they fly like an eagle swift to devour.
⁹ They all come for violence;
    terror^[a] of them goes before them.
    They gather captives like sand.
