Habakkuk:1:5-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Behold ye ,
and look ,
and wonder marvelously .
For I am working a work in your days ,
which ye will not believe though it be told you .
*
For ,
lo ,
I raise up the Chaldeans ,
that bitter and hasty nation ,
who march through the breadth of the earth to possess dwelling-places that are not theirs .
*
They are fearful and dreadful .
Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves .
*
Their horses also are swifter than leopards ,
and are more fierce than the evening wolves .
And their horsemen press proudly on .
Yea ,
their horsemen come from far .
They fly as an eagle that hastens to devour .
*
They come all of them for violence .
The set of their faces is forwards ,
and they gather captives as the sand .
*
Yea ,
he scoffs at kings ,
and rulers are a derision to him .
He derides every stronghold ,
for he heaps up dust ,
and takes it .
*
Then he shall sweep by [
as ]
a wind ,
and shall pass over ,
and be guilty ;
he whose might is his god .
