5  lBehold 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.

6  For, lo, n||I raise up othe Chaldeans, that bitter and phasty nation,

ppWhich shall march through the †breadth of the land,

ppTo possess the dwellingplaces qthat are not theirs.

7  They are qqterrible and dreadful:

||Their judgment and their rdignity shall proceed of themselves.

8  sTheir 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.

9  They shall come all for violence:

||†Their faces shall sup up as the east wind,

And they shall gather athe captivity bas the sand.

10  And 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.

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

gImputing this his power unto his god.
