Habakkuk 1:5-11 - God's Answer To Habakkuk

⁵ “Look among the nations! Observe!
Be astonished! Wonder!
Because I am doing something in your days—
You would not believe if you were told.
⁶ “For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans,
That fierce and impetuous people
Who march throughout the earth
To seize dwelling places which are not theirs.
⁷ “They are dreaded and feared;
Their justice and authority originate with themselves.
⁸ “Their horses are swifter than leopards
And keener than wolves in the evening.
Their horsemen come galloping,
Their horsemen come from afar;
They fly like an eagle swooping down to devour.
⁹ “All of them come for violence.
Their horde of faces moves forward.
They collect captives like sand.
¹⁰ “They mock at kings
And rulers are a laughing matter to them.
They laugh at every fortress
And heap up rubble to capture it.
¹¹ “Then they will sweep through like the wind and pass on.
But they will be held guilty,
They whose strength is their god.”
