5“LookH7200 at the nationsH1471 and observeH5027— be utterly astoundedH8539!1 ForH3588 I am doingH6466 a workH6467 in your daysH3117 that you would neverH3808 believeH539 even ifH3588 someone told youH5608.26ForH3588 beholdH2005, I am raising upH6965 the ChaldeansH37783— that ruthlessH4751 and impetuousH4116 nationH1471 which marchesH1980 through the breadthH4800 of the earthH776 to seizeH3423 dwellingsH4908 notH3808 their own.7TheyH1931 are dreadedH366 and fearedH3372; from themselvesH4480 they deriveH3318 justiceH4941 and sovereigntyH7613.8Their horsesH5483 are swifterH7043 than leopardsH5246, fiercerH2300 than wolvesH2061 of the nightH6153. Their horsemenH6571 charge aheadH6335, and their cavalryH6571 comesH935 from afarH7350. They flyH5774 like a vultureH5404, swooping downH2363 to devourH398.9AllH3605 of them comeH935 bentH4041 on violenceH2555; their hordesH6440 advance like the eastH6921 wind; they gatherH622 prisonersH7628 like sandH2344.10TheyH1931 scoff atH7046 kingsH4428 and make rulersH7336 an object of scornH4890. TheyH1931 laughH7832 at everyH3605 fortressH4013 and build upH6651 siege rampsH6083 to seize itH3920.
