Habakkuk:1:5-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Behold ye among the heathen ,
and regard ,
and wonder marvellously :
for I will work 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 ,
which shall march through the breadth of the land ,
to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs .
*
They are terrible and dreadful :
their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves .
*
Their horses also are swifter than the leopards ,
and are more fierce than the evening wolves :
and their horsemen shall spread themselves ,
and their horsemen shall come from far ;
they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat .
*
They shall come all for violence :
their faces shall sup up as the east wind ,
and they shall gather the captivity as the sand .
*
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 .
*
Then shall his mind change ,
and he shall pass over ,
and offend ,
imputing this his power unto his god .
