Habakkuk 1:6-10
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 For I am rousing the Chaldeans,
that fierce and impetuous nation,
who march through the breadth of the earth
to seize dwellings not their own.(A)
7 Dread and fearsome are they;
their justice and dignity proceed from themselves.(B)
8 Their horses are swifter than leopards,
more menacing than wolves at dusk;
their horses charge.
Their horsemen come from far away;
they fly like an eagle swift to devour.(C)
9 They all come for violence,
with faces pressing[a] forward;
they gather captives like sand.(D)
10 At kings they scoff,
and of rulers they make sport.
They laugh at every fortress
and heap up earth to take it.(E)
