Like an eagle that swoops on its prey.

Habakkuk 1:8

“Their horses are swifter than leopards
And keener than wolves in the evening.
Their horsemen come galloping,
Their horsemen come from afar;
They fly like an eagle swooping down to devour.

Which sends envoys by the sea,
Even in papyrus vessels on the surface of the waters.
Go, swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth,
To a people feared far and wide,
A powerful and oppressive nation
Whose land the rivers divide.

And in their death they were not parted;
They were swifter than eagles,
They were stronger than lions.

And makes his nest on high?

When you set your eyes on it, it is gone.
For wealth certainly makes itself wings
Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens.

And his chariots like the whirlwind;
His horses are swifter than eagles.
Woe to us, for we are ruined!”

Lamentations 4:19

Our pursuers were swifter
Than the eagles of the sky;
They chased us on the mountains,
They waited in ambush for us in the wilderness.
