Habakkuk 1:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ “You and your people, look at the nations!
    Watch them and be amazed.
I will do something in your lifetime that will amaze you.
    You won’t believe it even when you are told about it.
⁶ I will use the Babylonian people to punish the evil people.
    The Babylonians are cruel and powerful fighters.
They march across the earth.
    They take lands that don’t belong to them.
⁷ The Babylonians frighten other people.
    They do what they want to do.
    They are good only to themselves.
