Habakkuk 1:5-7

Modern English Version

⁵ Look among the nations, and watch—
    wonder and be amazed!
For I am doing a work in your days
    that you would not believe,
    though it were told you.
⁶ For I am raising up the Chaldeans,
    that bitter and hasty nation
which marches through the breadth of the earth,
    to possess dwelling places that are not theirs.
⁷ They are terrible and dreadful;
    their justice and their dignity
    proceed from themselves.
