Habakkuk 1:9
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
All of them come bent on violence; their hordes advance like the east wind; they gather prisoners like sand.
In context
7 They are dreaded and feared; from themselves they derive justice and sovereignty.
8 Their horses are swifter than leopards, fiercer than wolves of the night. Their horsemen charge ahead, and their cavalry comes from afar. They fly like a vulture, swooping down to devour.
9 All of them come bent on violence; their hordes advance like the east wind; they gather prisoners like sand.
10 They scoff at kings and make rulers an object of scorn. They laugh at every fortress and build up siege ramps to seize it.
11 Then they sweep by like the wind and pass on through. They are guilty; their own strength is their god.”
