Habakkuk 1:7

Read in context

Habakkuk 1:5–9 · Berean Standard Bible

5 “Look at the nations and observe— be utterly astounded! For I am doing a work in your days that you would never believe even if someone told you.

6 For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans — that ruthless and impetuous nation which marches through the breadth of the earth to seize dwellings not their own.

7 They are dreaded and feared; from themselves they derive justice and sovereignty.

8 Their horses are swifter than leopards, fiercer than wolves of the night. Their horsemen charge ahead, and their cavalry comes from afar. They fly like a vulture, swooping down to devour.

9 All of them come bent on violence; their hordes advance like the east wind; they gather prisoners like sand.
