Habakkuk 1:5-7
Legacy Standard Bible
Yahweh Raises the Dreaded Chaldeans
5 “(A)See among the nations! And look!
Be also astonished! (B)Be astounded!
Because I am doing (C)something in your days—
You would not believe if it was recounted to you.
6 For behold, I am (D)raising up the Chaldeans,
That bitter and hasty nation
Who walks on the breadth of the land
To (E)possess dwelling places which are not theirs.
7 They are dreaded and (F)feared;
Their (G)justice and exaltation come forth from themselves.
Habakkuk 1:5-7
New International Version
The Lord’s Answer
5 “Look at the nations and watch—
and be utterly amazed.(A)
For I am going to do something in your days
that you would not believe,
even if you were told.(B)
6 I am raising up the Babylonians,[a](C)
that ruthless and impetuous people,
who sweep across the whole earth(D)
to seize dwellings not their own.(E)
7 They are a feared and dreaded people;(F)
they are a law to themselves
and promote their own honor.
