Habakkuk 1:5-10 »Look among the nations, watch, and be amazed. Though you are told you will not believe the work I do today.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ »Look among the nations, watch, and be amazed. Though you are told you will not believe the work I do today. ⁶ »Behold, I bring the Chaldeans to power, that bitter and impetuous nation. They march through the expanse of the earth to possess dwelling places that are not theirs. ⁷ »They are feared and dreaded. Their justice and dignity are of their own being. ⁸ »Their horses are swifter than leopards. They are fiercer than the evening wolves. Their horsemen proudly press on. Yes, their horsemen come from afar. They fly like an eagle in a hurry to eat. ⁹ »They all come for violence. Their crowds look straight ahead and gather prisoners like the sand. ¹⁰ »They scoff at kings, and princes are derision to them. They laugh at every stronghold, for they build earthen ramps and capture them.
