Habakkuk 1:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 Therefore the Law is dissolved, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth [a]compass about the righteous: therefore [b]wrong judgment proceedeth.
5 Behold among the heathen, and regard, and wonder, and marvel: for I will work a work in your days: [c]ye will not believe it, though it be told you.
6 For lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and furious nation, which shall go upon the breadth of the land to possess the dwelling places that are not theirs.
