Habakkuk 1:6-8
6For behold, I am 1raising up the Chaldeans, That 2fierce and impetuous people Who march 3throughout the earth To 45seize dwelling places which are not theirs.7They are dreaded and 6feared; Their 7justice and 8authority 9originate with themselves.8Their 10horses are swifter than leopards And 11keener than 12wolves in the evening. Their 13horsemen come galloping, Their horsemen come from afar; They fly like an 14eagle swooping down to devour.
