Habakkuk 1:6-11

6For, loH2005, I raiseH6965 upH6965 the ChaldeansH3778, that bitterH4751 and hastyH4116 nationH1471; whichH1471 marchH1980 throughH1980 the breadth of the earthH776, to possessH3423 dwellingH4908 placesH4908 that are notH3808 theirs.

7They are terrible and dreadful: their judgmentH4941 and their dignityH7613 proceedH3318 from themselves.

8Their horsesH5483 also are swifterH7043 than leopardsH5246, and are more fierce than the eveningH6153 wolvesH2061; and their horsemenH6571 spread themselves: yea, their horsemenH6571 comeH935 from farH7350; they flyH5774 as an eagleH5404 that hasteth to devourH398.

9They comeH935 allH3605 of them for violenceH2555; their facesH6440 are setH935 eagerly as the eastH6921 windH6921; and they gatherH622 captivesH7628 as the sandH2344.

10Yea, he scoffeth at kingsH4428, and princes are a derision unto him: he derideth everyH3605 strong holdH7832; for he heapeth upH6651 dustH6083, and taketh it.

11Then shall he sweepH2498 by as a windH7307, and shall passH5674 over, and be guiltyH816: even he whoseH2098 might is his godH430.
