Habakkuk 1:5-10 See, despisers, and look, and be utterly amazed, for I contrive a contrivance in your days you will not believe though it were being related."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ See, despisers, and look, and be utterly amazed, for I contrive a contrivance in your days you will not believe though it were being related." ⁶ For, behold Me raising the Chaldeans, the bitter and hasty nation, going the widths of the earth to tenant tabernacles not his own." ⁷ Dreadful and fearful is he! His judgment and his dignity are faring forth from him. ⁸ His horses are fleeter than leopards and sharper than evening wolves, and his horsemen are diffused; and his horsemen will come from far. They will fly as a vulture that hurries to eat." ⁹ All of them will come for violence. The endeavor of their faces is toward the east; and they shall gather the captives as sand. ¹⁰ And he will scoff at kings, and chancellors will be sport to him; he will sport with every fortress and pile up soil and seize it."
