7 Will not [b]your creditors rise up suddenly?
Will they not awaken who oppress you?
And you will become their booty.
8 (B)Because you have plundered many nations,
All the remnant of the people shall plunder you,
Because of men’s [c]blood

And of all who dwell in it.
9 “Woe to him who covets evil gain for his house,
That he may (C)set his nest on high,
That he may be delivered from the [d]power of disaster!
10 You give shameful counsel to your house,
Cutting off many peoples,
And sin against your soul.

And the beam from the timbers will answer it.

Who establishes a city by iniquity!

The Prophet’s Question
2 O Lord, how long shall I cry,
(A)And You will not hear?
Even cry out to You, (B)“Violence!”
And You will (C)not save.
3 Why do You show me iniquity,
And cause me to see [a]trouble?
For plundering and violence are before me;
There is strife, and contention arises.
4 Therefore the law is powerless,
And justice never goes forth.
For the (D)wicked surround the righteous;
Therefore perverse judgment proceeds.
The Lord’s Reply
5 “Look(E) among the nations and watch—
Be utterly astounded!
For I will work a work in your days
Which you would not believe, though it were told you.
6 For indeed I am (F)raising up the Chaldeans,
A bitter and hasty (G)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 (H)swifter than leopards,
And more fierce than evening wolves.
Their [b]chargers [c]charge ahead;
Their cavalry comes from afar;
They fly as the (I)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.

Habakkuk’s Complaint
2 How long,(A) Lord, must I call for help,
but you do not listen?(B)
Or cry out to you, “Violence!”
but you do not save?(C)
3 Why do you make me look at injustice?
Why do you tolerate(D) wrongdoing?(E)
Destruction and violence(F) are before me;
there is strife,(G) and conflict abounds.
4 Therefore the law(H) is paralyzed,
and justice never prevails.
The wicked hem in the righteous,
so that justice(I) is perverted.(J)
The Lord’s Answer
5 “Look at the nations and watch—
and be utterly amazed.(K)
For I am going to do something in your days
that you would not believe,
even if you were told.(L)
6 I am raising up the Babylonians,[a](M)
that ruthless and impetuous people,
who sweep across the whole earth(N)
to seize dwellings not their own.(O)
7 They are a feared and dreaded people;(P)
they are a law to themselves
and promote their own honor.
8 Their horses are swifter(Q) than leopards,
fiercer than wolves(R) at dusk.
Their cavalry gallops headlong;
their horsemen come from afar.
They fly like an eagle swooping to devour;
9 they all come intent on violence.
Their hordes[b] advance like a desert wind
and gather prisoners(S) like sand.
10 They mock kings
and scoff at rulers.(T)
They laugh at all fortified cities;
by building earthen ramps(U) they capture them.

Daniel 7:19-25
New King James Version
19 “Then I wished to know the truth about the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its nails of bronze, which devoured, broke in pieces, and trampled the residue with its feet; 20 and the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, before which three fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth which spoke [a]pompous words, whose appearance was greater than his fellows.
21 “I was watching; (A)and the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them, 22 until the Ancient of Days came, (B)and a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom.
23 “Thus he said:
‘The fourth beast shall be
(C)A fourth kingdom on earth,
Which shall be different from all other kingdoms,
And shall devour the whole earth,
Trample it and break it in pieces.
24 (D)The ten horns are ten kings
Who shall arise from this kingdom.
And another shall rise after them;
He shall be different from the first ones,
And shall subdue three kings.
25 (E)He shall speak pompous words against the Most High,
Shall (F)persecute[b] the saints of the Most High,
And shall (G)intend to change times and law.
Then (H)the saints shall be given into his hand
(I)For a time and times and half a time.

19 “Then I wanted to know the meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others and most terrifying, with its iron teeth and bronze claws—the beast that crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. 20 I also wanted to know about the ten horns(A) on its head and about the other horn that came up, before which three of them fell—the horn that looked more imposing than the others and that had eyes and a mouth that spoke boastfully.(B) 21 As I watched, this horn was waging war against the holy people and defeating them,(C) 22 until the Ancient of Days came and pronounced judgment in favor of the holy people of the Most High, and the time came when they possessed the kingdom.(D)
23 “He gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it.(E) 24 The ten horns(F) are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings. 25 He will speak against the Most High(G) and oppress his holy people(H) and try to change the set times(I) and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time.[a](J)
