Habakkuk 1:9

God's Answer To Habakkuk

⁸ Their horses are swifter than leopards. They are fiercer than the evening wolves. Their horsemen proudly press on. Yes, their horsemen come from afar. They fly like an eagle in a hurry to eat. ⁹ “All of them come for violence.
Their horde of faces moves forward.
They collect captives like sand.
¹⁰ They scoff at kings, and princes are derision to them. They laugh at every stronghold, for they build earthen ramps and capture them.
