Darby Translation
Habakkuk 1:8-10
Darby Translation
8 And their horses are swifter than the leopards, and are more agile than the evening wolves; and their horsemen prance proudly, and their horsemen come from afar: they fly as an eagle that hasteth to devour.
9 They come all of them for violence: the crowd of their faces is forwards, and they gather captives as the sand.
10 Yea, he scoffeth at kings, and princes are a scorn 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.
