Habakkuk 3:14

Thou hast pierced, with his own staves, the head of his chiefs, they storm along, to scatter me,—their exultant thought, is, in very deed, to devour the oppressed one, in a secret place!

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

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.

In Context

15Thou hast driven, into the sea, thy chariot-horses. Foaming are the mighty waters!
