Habakkuk 1:9
World English Bible (WEB)
All of them come for violence. Their hordes face forward. They gather prisoners like sand.
In context
7 They are feared and dreaded. Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.
8 Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves. Their horsemen press proudly on. Yes, their horsemen come from afar. They fly as an eagle that hurries to devour.
9 All of them come for violence. Their hordes face forward. They gather prisoners like sand.
10 Yes, they scoff at kings, and princes are a derision to them. They laugh at every stronghold, for they build up an earthen ramp and take it.
11 Then they sweep by like the wind and go on. They are indeed guilty, whose strength is their god.”
