Habakkuk 1:6-8

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁶ I am going to send the Babylonians,
that fierce and reckless nation.
They will march throughout the earth
to take possession of lands that don’t belong to them.
⁷ They will be terrifying and fearsome.
They will carry out their own kind of justice and honor.
⁸ Their horses will be faster than leopards
and quicker than wolves in the evening.
Their riders will gallop along proudly.
Their riders will come from far away.
They will fly like an eagle that swoops down for its prey.
