Habakkuk 1:6-8

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁶ For I am rousing the Chaldeans,
    that fierce and impetuous nation,
who march through the breadth of the earth
    to seize dwellings not their own.^(A)
7 Dread and fearsome are they;
    their justice and dignity proceed from themselves.^(B)
8 Their horses are swifter than leopards,
    more menacing than wolves at dusk;
    their horses charge.
Their horsemen come from far away;
    they fly like an eagle swift to devour.^(C)
