Habakkuk 1:6-13
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. 11ThenH227 shall he sweep by as a windH7307, and shall passH5674 over, and be guiltyH816, even he whose might is his godH430.
12Art not thou from everlasting, O Jehovah my GodH430, my HolyH6918 OneH6918? we shall not dieH4191. O Jehovah, thou hast ordained him for judgmentH4941; and thou, O RockH6697, hast establishedH3245 him for correction. 13Thou that art of purer eyesH5869 than to behold evilH7451, and that canst not lookH7200 on perverseness, wherefore lookest thou upon them that dealH898 treacherouslyH898, and holdest thy peace when the wickedH7563 swalloweth up the man that is moreH4480 righteousH6662 than he;
