Habacuc 1

Si fan beffe dei re, e i principi son per essi oggetto di scherno; si ridono di tutte le fortezze; ammontano un po’ di terra, e le prendono.

Y escarnecerá de los reyes, y de los príncipes hará burla: reiráse de toda fortaleza, y amontonará polvo, y la tomará.

And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.

Yes, 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.
