Habakkuk 1:5-7

The Voice

⁵ Eternal One: Take a look at the nations and watch what happens!
        You will be shocked and amazed.
    For in your days, I am doing a work,
        a work you will never believe even if someone tells you plainly!^[a]
6     Look! I am provoking and raising up the bitter and thieving Babylonian warriors from Chaldea;
        they are moving out across the earth
    And seizing others’ homes and property in their path.

⁷ That nation is terrifying people, is feared by everyone.
    It makes the rules and serves only its own interests.
