and scoff at rulers.
They laugh at all fortified cities;
by building earthen ramps they capture them.
11 Then they sweep past like the wind and go on—
guilty people, whose own strength is their god.”

And the princes shall be a scorn unto them:
They shall deride every strong hold;
For they shall heap dust, and take it.
11 Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend,
Imputing this his power unto his god.
Habakkuk 1:10–11 — New Living Translation (NLT)

and scorn all their fortresses.
They simply pile ramps of earth
against their walls and capture them!

and are gone.
But they are deeply guilty,
for their own strength is their god.”

He commits offense,
Ascribing this power to his god.”
