Habakkuk 1:5-7

5[The Lord replied,] “Look among the nations! See! Be astonished! Wonder! For I am doing something in your days— You would not believe it if you were told.

6For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans [who rule in Babylon], That fierce and impetuous nation Who march throughout the earth To take possession of dwelling places that do not belong to them.

7The Chaldeans are dreaded and feared; Their justice and authority originate with themselves and are defined only by their decree.
