Habakkuk 1:6-8

English Standard Version

⁶ For behold, ^(A)I am raising up the Chaldeans,
    that bitter and hasty nation,
^(B)who march through the breadth of the earth,
    ^(C)to seize dwellings not their own.
⁷ They are dreaded and fearsome;
    ^(D)their justice and dignity go forth from themselves.
^8 (E)Their horses are swifter than leopards,
    more fierce than ^(F)the evening wolves;
    their horsemen press proudly on.
Their horsemen come from afar;
    ^(G)they fly like an eagle swift to devour.
