9
All of them come to do violence; their faces are set in determination. They gather prisoners like sand.
Habakkuk 1:9 In-Context
7
They are a feared and dreaded people; they are a law to themselves and promote their own honor.
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 advance like a desert wind and gather prisoners like sand.
10
They mock kings and scoff at rulers. They laugh at all fortified cities; by building earthen ramps they capture them.
11
Then they sweep past like the wind and go on— guilty people, whose own strength is their god.”
