Habakkuk 3:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹² When you were angry, you marched across the earth.
    Because of your anger you destroyed the nations.
¹³ You came out to set your people free.
    You saved your chosen ones.
You crushed Pharaoh, the leader of that evil land of Egypt.
    You stripped him from head to foot.
¹⁴ His soldiers rushed out to scatter us.
    They were laughing at us.
    They thought they would easily destroy us.
They saw us as weak people who were trying to hide.
    So you wounded Pharaoh’s head with his own spear.
