Habakkuk 1:5-7
21st Century King James Version
5 “Behold ye among the heathen and regard, and wonder marvelously; for I will work a work in your days which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
6 For lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land to possess the dwelling places that are not theirs.
7 They are terrible and dreadful; their judgment and their dignity shall proceed from themselves.

5 “Look at the nations and watch—
and be utterly amazed.(A)
For I am going to do something in your days

even if you were told.(B)

who sweep across the whole earth(D)
to seize dwellings not their own.(E)

they are a law to themselves
and promote their own honor.
