Habakkuk 1:5-7

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁵ Look at the nations^[a](A) and observe^(B)—
be utterly astounded!^(C)
For something is taking place in your days
that you will not believe^(D)
when you hear about it.^(E)
6 Look! I am raising up^(F) the Chaldeans,^[b]
that bitter,^(G) impetuous nation
that marches across the earth’s open spaces
to seize territories not its own.
⁷ They are fierce^(H) and terrifying;
their views of justice and sovereignty
stem from themselves.
