Habakkuk:1:5-10
rsv@Habakkuk:1:5 @ Look among the nations, and see; wonder and be astounded. For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told.
rsv@Habakkuk:1:6 @ For lo, I am rousing the Chalde'ans, that bitter and hasty nation, who march through the breadth of the earth, to seize habitations not their own.
rsv@Habakkuk:1:7 @ Dread and terrible are they; their justice and dignity proceed from themselves.
rsv@Habakkuk:1:8 @ Their horses are swifter than leopards, more fierce than the evening wolves; their horsemen press proudly on. Yea, their horsemen come from afar; they fly like an eagle swift to devour.
rsv@Habakkuk:1:9 @ They all come for violence; terror of them goes before them. They gather captives like sand.
rsv@Habakkuk:1:10 @ At kings they scoff, and of rulers they make sport. They laugh at every fortress, for they heap up earth and take it.
