ગુજરાતીહબાક્કુક ૧:૯
તેઓ સર્વ હિંસા માટે આવે છે, તેઓના લોકો અરણ્યના પવન જેવા છે; તેઓ રેતીના કણ જેટલા બંદીવાનો એકઠા કરે છે.
हिन्दीहबक्कूक १:९
वे सब के सब उपद्रव करने के लिये आते हैं; सामने की ओर मुख किए हुए वे सीधे बढ़े चले जाते हैं, और बंधुओं को रेत के किनकों के समान बटोरते हैं।

In context

7They are feared and dreaded. Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.

8Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves. Their horsemen press proudly on. Yes, their horsemen come from afar. They fly as an eagle that hurries to devour.

9All of them come for violence. Their hordes face forward. They gather prisoners like sand.

10Yes, they scoff at kings, and princes are a derision to them. They laugh at every stronghold, for they build up an earthen ramp and take it.

11Then they sweep by like the wind and go on. They are indeed guilty, whose strength is their god.”
