Habacuc 1:6-8
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
6 Estoy incitando a los caldeos,
ese pueblo despiadado e impetuoso,
que recorre toda la tierra
para apoderarse de territorios ajenos.
7 Son un pueblo temible y espantoso,
que impone su propia justicia y grandeza.
8 Sus caballos son más veloces que leopardos,
más feroces que lobos nocturnos.
Su caballería se lanza a todo galope;
sus jinetes vienen de muy lejos.
¡Caen como buitres sobre su presa!
Habakkuk 1:6-8
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.

Habakkuk 1:6-8
Evangelical Heritage Version
6 Watch, I am raising up the Chaldeans,[a] that savage, reckless nation. They will sweep across the whole width of the earth, seizing lands and homes that do not belong to them. 7 They are frightening and terrifying. They invent their own standard of justice and their own values. 8 Their horses are quicker than leopards and fiercer than wolves that prowl at night. Their war horses come galloping. Their war horses come from far away. They fly like vultures[b] swooping down to devour.
