Habakkuk 1:5-7

5“1Look among the nations! Watch! Be horrified! 2Be frightened speechless! For I am accomplishing 3a work in your days-- You would not believe it even if 4you were told!6For behold, I am 5raising up the Chaldeans, That 6grim and impetuous people Who march 7throughout the earth, To 8take possession of dwelling places that are not theirs.7They are terrifying and 9feared; Their 10justice and 11authority 12originate with themselves.
