Habakkuk 1:5-11
The LORD’s Answer

5 Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for [I] will work a work in your days, [which] ye will not believe, though it be told [you].

5:

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 theirs.

6:

7 They [are] terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.

7:

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.

8:

9 They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up [as] the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.

9:

10 And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.

10:

11 Then shall [his] mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, [imputing] this his power unto his god.

11:
