Habakkuk 1:9 in Context — Habakkuk 1
7 Ela é espantosa é e terrível; que impõe seu próprio julgamento e sua própria honra.
8 E seus cavalos são mais rápidos que os leopardos, e mais ferozes que lobos de tarde; e seus cavaleiros avançam; seus cavaleiros virão de longe, e voarão como águias que se apressam para devorar.
9 Todos eles vêm para [fazer] violência; seus rostos estão orientados; e juntarão cativos como areia.
10 E escarnecerão dos reis, e zombarão dos príncipes; rirão de todas as fortalezas, porque amontoarão terra, e as tomarão.
11 Logo mudarão, e passarão adiante como o vento; porém culpado será quem confiar na força de seu deus.
