Habakkuk 1:6-10

6For, lo, I raiseH6965 up the ChaldeansH3778, that bitterH4751 and hastyH4116 nationH1471, that march through the breadth of the earthH776, to possessH3423 dwelling-places that are not theirs. 7They are terrible and dreadful; their judgmentH4941 and their dignityH7613 proceed from themselves. 8Their horsesH5483 also are swifter than leopardsH5246, and are more fierce than the eveningH6153 wolvesH2061; and their horsemenH6571 press proudly on: yea, their horsemenH6571 comeH935 from farH7350; they flyH5774 as an eagleH5404 that hasteth to devourH398. 9They comeH935 all of them for violenceH2555; the set of their facesH6440 is forwards; and they gatherH622 captivesH7628 as the sandH2344. 10Yea, he scoffeth at kingsH4428, and princes are a derision unto him; he derideth every stronghold; for he heapeth up dustH6083, and taketh it.
