Habakkuk 1:9-11

Easy-to-Read Version

⁹ The one thing they all want to do is fight. Their armies will march fast like the wind in the desert. And the Babylonian soldiers will take many prisoners—as many as the grains of sand.

¹⁰ “The Babylonian soldiers will laugh at the kings of other nations. Foreign rulers will be like jokes to them. The Babylonian soldiers will laugh at the cities with tall, strong walls. They will simply build dirt roads up to the top of the walls and easily defeat the cities. ¹¹ Then they will leave like the wind and go on to fight against other places. The only thing the Babylonians worship is their own strength.”
