Habakkuk 3:16
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
16 I hear, and I tremble within;
my lips quiver at the sound.
Rottenness enters into my bones,
and my steps tremble[a] beneath me.
I wait quietly for the day of calamity
to come upon the people who attack us.(A)

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 For it is indeed just of God to repay with affliction those who afflict you 7 and to give relief to the afflicted as well as to us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels(A) 8 in a fiery flame, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.(B) 9 These will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, separated from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might,(C)

Habakkuk 1:5-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 Look at the nations and see!
Be astonished! Be astounded!
For a work is being done in your days
that you would not believe if you were told.(A)
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.(B)
7 Dread and fearsome are they;
their justice and dignity proceed from themselves.(C)
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.(D)
9 They all come for violence,
with faces pressing[a] forward;
they gather captives like sand.(E)
10 At kings they scoff,
and of rulers they make sport.
They laugh at every fortress
and heap up earth to take it.(F)
11 Then they sweep by like the wind;
they transgress and become guilty;
their own might is their god!(G)
