New Testament

Habakkuk 1:8-12 English Revised Version (ERV)

8. Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves; and their horsemen spread themselves: yea, their horsemen come from far; they fly as an eagle that hasteth to devour.

9. They come all of them for violence; their faces are set eagerly as the east wind; and they gather captives as the sand.

10. Yea, he scoffeth at kings, and princes are a derision unto him: he derideth every strong hold; for he heapeth up dust, and taketh it.

11. Then shall he sweep by as a wind, and shall pass over, and be guilty: even he whose might is his god.

12. Art not thou from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained him for judgment; and thou, O Rock, hast established him for correction.
