Habakkuk 1:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ Look among the nations and watch!
        Be astonished and stare
            because something is happening in your days
                that you wouldn’t believe even if told.
⁶ I am about to rouse the Chaldeans,
        that bitter and impetuous nation,
            which travels throughout the earth to possess dwelling places it does not own.
⁷ The Chaldean is dreadful and fearful.
        He makes his own justice and dignity.^[a]
