Habakkuk 1:6-8

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁶ Look! I am raising up^(A) the Chaldeans,^[a]
that bitter,^(B) impetuous nation
that marches across the earth’s open spaces
to seize territories not its own.
⁷ They are fierce^(C) and terrifying;
their views of justice and sovereignty
stem from themselves.
⁸ Their horses are swifter^(D) than leopards^(E)
and fiercer^[b] than wolves of the night.
Their horsemen charge ahead;
their horsemen come from distant lands.
They fly like eagles, swooping to devour.^(F)
