Habakkuk 1:5-7

Evangelical Heritage Version

The Lord Answers

⁵ Look at the nations and pay attention! Be completely dumbfounded, because I will do something in your lifetime that you will not believe, even though you are warned ahead of time. ⁶ Watch, I am raising up the Chaldeans,^[a] that savage, reckless nation. They will sweep across the whole width of the earth, seizing lands and homes that do not belong to them. ⁷ They are frightening and terrifying. They invent their own standard of justice and their own values.
