Habakkuk 1:9 in Context — Habakkuk 1
7 Il est terrible et formidable; De lui seul viennent son droit et sa grandeur.
8 Ses chevaux sont plus rapides que les léopards, Plus agiles que les loups du soir, Et ses cavaliers s’avancent avec orgueil; Ses cavaliers arrivent de loin, Ils volent comme l’aigle qui fond sur sa proie.
9 Tout ce peuple vient pour se livrer au pillage; Ses regards avides se portent en avant, Et il assemble des prisonniers comme du sable.
10 Il se moque des rois, Et les princes font l’objet de ses railleries; Il se rit de toutes les forteresses, Il amoncelle de la terre, et il les prend.
11 Alors son ardeur redouble, Il poursuit sa marche, et il se rend coupable. Sa force à lui, voilà son dieu!
