Habakkuk 1:5-11
1599 Geneva Bible
5 Behold among the heathen, and regard, and wonder, and marvel: for I will work a work in your days: [a]ye will not believe it, though it be told you.
6 For lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and furious nation, which shall go upon the breadth of the land to possess the dwelling places that are not theirs.
7 They are terrible and fearful: [b]their judgment, and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
8 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the wolves in the (A)evening: and their horsemen are many: and their horsemen shall come from far: they shall fly as the eagle hasting to meat.
9 They come all to spoil: for their faces shall be an [c]East wind, and they shall gather the captivity [d]as the sand.
10 And they shall mock the Kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every stronghold: for they shall gather [e]dust, and take it.
11 Then shall they [f]take a courage, and transgress and do wickedly, imputing this their power unto their god.
