Habacuc 3

Tu trafiggesti, co' suoi dardi stessi, il capo delle villate di esso; Essi venivano a guisa di turbo, per dissiparmi; Il lor trionfo era come di genti apparecchiate a divorare il povero di nascosto.

Horadaste con sus báculos las cabezas de sus villas, que como tempestad acometieron para derramarme: su orgullo era como para devorar al pobre encubiertamente.

Thou didst strike through with his staves the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.

You pierced the heads of his warriors with their own spears. They came as a whirlwind to scatter me, gloating as if to devour the wretched in secret.
