Habakkuk 1:10-12
Lexham English Bible
10 And they themselves scoff at kings
and rulers are a joke to them.
They laugh at every fortification,
and they heap up earth and take it.
11 Then they sweep like the wind and pass on;
they become guilty, whose might is their[a] god!”
Habakkuk’s Second Complaint
12 Are you not from of old,
O Yahweh my God, my Holy One?
You[b] shall not die.
O Yahweh, you have marked them[c] for judgment;
O Rock, you have established them[d] for reproof.
