Habakkuk 1:5–11

^5lBehold ye among the heathen, and regard, and ^mwonder marvellously:

For I will work a work in your days,

Which ye will not believe, though it be told you.

⁶For lo, ⁿI raise up ^othe Chaldeans, that bitter and ^phasty nation,

^ppWhich shall march through the breadth of the land,

^ppTo possess the dwelling places ^qthat are not theirs.

⁷They are ^qqterrible and dreadful:

Their judgment and their ^rdignity shall proceed of themselves.

^8sTheir horses also are swifter than ^tthe leopards,

And are more fierce than ^uthe evening wolves:

And their horsemen shall ^vspread themselves,

And their horsemen shall come ^wfrom far;

^xThey shall fly as ^sthe eagle ^ythat hasteth to eat.

⁹They shall come all for violence:

Their faces shall sup up as the east wind,

And they shall gather ^athe captivity ^bas the sand.

¹⁰And they shall scoff at the kings,

And the princes shall be a scorn unto them:

^cThey shall deride every strong hold;

For ^dthey shall heap dust, and take it.

¹¹Then shall ^ehis mind change, and he shall pass over, and ^foffend,

^gImputing this his power unto his god.
