Habakkuk 1:6-8
King James Version
6 For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not their's.
7 They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
8 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.

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.

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.
