Habakkuk 1:5-7

New Century Version

⁵ “Look at the nations!
    Watch them and be amazed and shocked.
I will do something in your lifetime
    that you won’t believe even when you are told about it.
⁶ I will use the Babylonians,
    those cruel and wild people
who march across the earth
    and take lands that don’t belong to them.
⁷ They scare and frighten people.
    They do what they want to do
    and are good only to themselves.
