Habakkuk 1:6-12
Habakkuk 1:6-12 TPT
I am raising up the Babylonians to punish you— that fierce and fearsome people, who sweep across the whole earth to seize houses they do not own. They are a feared and dreaded people. In their autocratic arrogance, they become a law unto themselves. Their horses are swifter than leopards, fiercer than wolves on the prowl at dusk. Their cavalry charges headlong; their horsemen come from afar. They soar swiftly like an eagle swooping to devour. Their armies invade, intent on violent conquest. Their terrifying hordes advance like a desert wind and gather prisoners as numerous as grains of sand. They are a people who mock kings and scoff at those in authority. They laugh at every stronghold; they pile up earthen siege ramps and capture them. Then they hurry on, like the wind that blows by and disappears. They are guilty men who worship their own power as if it were a god.” YAHWEH, have you not always been the everlasting God? You are my God, my Holy One, who will not die. YAHWEH, you have appointed the Babylonians to execute judgment; my Rock, you have raised them up so they can punish us.
