For I am accomplishingH6466 3a workH6467 in your daysH3117-- You would not believeH539 it even ifH3588 4you were toldH5608!6For beholdH2009, I am 5raisingH6965 upH6965 the ChaldeansH3778, That 6grimH4751 and impetuousH4116 peopleH1471 Who marchH1980 7throughoutH4800 the earthH776, To 8takeH3423 possessionH3423 of dwellingH4908 placesH4908 that are not theirs.7They are terrifyingH366 and 9fearedH3372; Their 10justiceH4941 and 11authorityH7613 12originateH3318 with themselves.8Their 13horsesH5483 areH7043 fasterH7043 thanH4480 leopardsH5246, And quickerH2300 thanH4480 14wolvesH2061 in the eveningH6153. Their 15horsemenH6571 chargeH6335 alongH6335, Their 16horsemenH6571 comeH935 from afarH7350; They flyH5774 like an 17eagleH5404 18swoopingH2363 downH2363 to devourH398.9AllH3605 of them comeH935 for violenceH2555. 19Their hordeH4041 of 20facesH6440 movesH6923 forwardH6923. They gatherH622 captivesH7628 like sandH2344.10They 21makeH7046 funH7046 of kingsH4428, And dignitariesH7336 are an object of laughterH4890 to them.
