⁶For behold, I will raise up the Chaldeans, a bitter and swift nation, marching upon the breadth of the earth, to possess the dwelling places that are not their own.

⁷They are dreadful, and terrible: from themselves shall their judgment, and their burden proceed.

⁸Their horses are lighter than leopards, and swifter than evening wolves; and their horsemen shall be spread abroad: for their horsemen shall come from afar, they shall fly as an eagle that maketh haste to eat.

⁹They shall all come to the prey, their face is like a burning wind: and they shall gather together captives as the sand.

¹⁰And their prince shall triumph over kings, and princes shall be his laughingstock: and he shall laugh at every strong hold, and shall cast up a mount, and shall take it.

¹¹Then shall his spirit be changed, and he shall pass, and fall: this is his strength of his god.
