Chabakuk 1:4-6
Orthodox Jewish Bible
4 Therefore the torah is slacked, and mishpat (judgment) doth never prevail; for the rasha doth hem in the tzadik; therefore mishpat (justice) proceedeth perverted.
5 [Hashem says:] Behold ye the Goyim, and regard, and wonder marvelously; for I will work a work in your yamim which, though it be told you, of it ye will have no emunah (faith).
6 For, hineni, I raise up the Kasdim (Chaldeans), that Goy bitter and impetuous, which shall march far and wide over the earth, to confiscate the mishkanot (dwelling places) that are not their own.

and be utterly amazed.(D)
For I am going to do something in your days
that you would not believe,
even if you were told.(E)

that ruthless and impetuous people,
who sweep across the whole earth(G)
to seize dwellings not their own.(H)
