Habakkuk 1:10

At kings they scoff , and at rulers they laugh . They laugh at every fortress , for they pile up earth and take it.

They mock kings and scoff at rulers. They laugh at all fortified cities; by building earthen ramps they capture them.

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.
