Habakkuk 1:6-10

6Look! I am raising up the Chaldeans, that bitter, impetuous nation that marches across the earth’s open spaces to seize territories not its own.

7They are fierce and terrifying; their views of justice and sovereignty stem from themselves.

8Their horses are swifter than leopards and more fierce than wolves of the night. Their horsemen charge ahead; their horsemen come from distant lands. They fly like eagles, swooping to devour.

9All of them come to do violence; their faces are set in determination. They gather prisoners like sand.

10They mock kings, and rulers are a joke to them. They laugh at every fortress and build siege ramps to capture it.
