Habakkuk 1:8-10
American Standard Version
8 Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves; and their horsemen [a]press proudly on: yea, their horsemen come from far; they fly as an eagle that hasteth to devour. 9 They come all of them for violence; [b]the set of their faces is [c]forwards; and they gather captives as the sand. 10 [d]Yea, he scoffeth at kings, and princes are a derision unto him; he derideth every stronghold; for he heapeth up dust, and taketh it.

Habakkuk 1:8-10
New International Version
8 Their horses are swifter(A) than leopards,
fiercer than wolves(B) at dusk.
Their cavalry gallops headlong;
their horsemen come from afar.
They fly like an eagle swooping to devour;
9 they all come intent on violence.
Their hordes[a] advance like a desert wind
and gather prisoners(C) like sand.
10 They mock kings
and scoff at rulers.(D)
They laugh at all fortified cities;
by building earthen ramps(E) they capture them.
