Habakkuk 1:9-11

Good News Translation

⁹ “Their armies advance in violent conquest, and everyone is terrified as they approach.^[a] Their captives are as numerous as grains of sand. ¹⁰ They treat kings with contempt and laugh at high officials. No fortress can stop them—they pile up earth against it and capture it. ¹¹ Then they sweep on like the wind and are gone, these men whose power is their god.”
