Habakkuk 1:6-10
New King James Version
6 For indeed I am (A)raising up the Chaldeans,
A bitter and hasty (B)nation
Which marches through the breadth of the earth,
To possess dwelling places that are not theirs.
7 They are terrible and dreadful;
Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.
8 Their horses also are (C)swifter than leopards,
And more fierce than evening wolves.
Their [a]chargers [b]charge ahead;
Their cavalry comes from afar;
They fly as the (D)eagle that hastens to eat.
9 “They all come for violence;
Their faces are set like the east wind.
They gather captives like sand.
10 They scoff at kings,
And princes are scorned by them.
They deride every stronghold,
For they heap up earthen mounds and seize it.

Into the hand of her lovers,

New King James Version
9 My [a]heritage is to Me like a speckled vulture;
The vultures all around are against her.
Come, assemble all the beasts of the field,
(A)Bring them to devour!
10 “Many (B)rulers[b] have destroyed (C)My vineyard,
They have (D)trodden My portion underfoot;
They have made My [c]pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
11 They have made it (E)desolate;
Desolate, it mourns to Me;
The whole land is made desolate,
Because (F)no one takes it to heart.
12 The plunderers have come
On all the desolate heights in the wilderness,
For the sword of the Lord shall devour
From one end of the land to the other end of the land;
No flesh shall have peace.

New King James Version
22 Thus says the Lord:
“Behold, a people comes from the (A)north country,
And a great nation will be raised from the farthest parts of the earth.
23 They will lay hold on bow and spear;
They are cruel and have no mercy;
Their voice (B)roars like the sea;
And they ride on horses,
As men of war set in array against you, O daughter of Zion.”

4 And he said, “What have they seen in your house?”
So Hezekiah answered, “They have seen all that is in my house; there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.”

5 “Woe to Assyria, (A)the rod of My anger
And the staff in whose hand is My indignation.
