Habakkuk, Chapter 1, verses 5-11

⁵ "Look at the nations and watch-
and be utterly amazed.
For I am going to do something in your days
that you would not believe,
even if you were told.

⁶ I am raising up the Babylonians,¹
that ruthless and impetuous people,
who sweep across the whole earth
to seize dwelling places not their own.

⁷ They are a feared and dreaded people;
they are a law to themselves
and promote their own honor.

⁸ Their horses are swifter than leopards,
fiercer than wolves at dusk.
Their cavalry gallops headlong;
their horsemen come from afar.
They fly like a vulture swooping to devour;

⁹ they all come bent on violence.
Their hordes² advance like a desert wind
and gather prisoners like sand.

¹⁰ They deride kings
and scoff at rulers.
They laugh at all fortified cities;
they build earthen ramps and capture them.

¹¹ Then they sweep past like the wind and go on-
guilty men, whose own strength is their god."
