Habakkuk 1:6-8

6For behold, I am 1raising up the Chaldeans, That 2grim and impetuous people Who march 3throughout the earth, To 4take possession of dwelling places that are not theirs.7They are terrifying and 5feared; Their 6justice and 7authority 8originate with themselves.8Their 9horses are faster than leopards, And quicker than 10wolves in the evening. Their 11horsemen charge along, Their 12horsemen come from afar; They fly like an 13eagle 14swooping down to devour.
