Habakkuk 1:9 in Context — Habakkuk 1
7 Espantosa es y terrible: de ella misma saldrá su derecho y su grandeza.
8 Y serán sus caballos más ligeros que tigres, y más agudos que lobos de tarde; y sus jinetes se multiplicarán: vendrán de lejos sus caballeros, y volarán como águilas que se apresuran á la comida.
9 Toda ella vendrá á la presa: delante de sus caras viento solano; y juntará cautivos como arena.
10 Y escarnecerá de los reyes, y de los príncipes hará burla: reiráse de toda fortaleza, y amontonará polvo, y la tomará.
11 Luego mudará espíritu, y pasará adelante, y ofenderá [atribuyendo] esta su potencia á su dios.
