  • Hab 1:2-9 : 2 O LORD, how long shall I cry, and You will not hear! Even cry out to You of violence, and You will not save! 3 Why do You show me iniquity, and cause me to behold trouble?

For I will work a work in your days which you would not believe, though it were told you. 6 For indeed I am raising up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation which marches through the breadth of the earth, to possess dwellingplaces that are not theirs. 7 They are terrible and dreadful; their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves. 8 Their horses are swifter than leopards, fiercer than evening wolves; their horsemen spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from afar; they fly as the eagle that hastens to eat. 9 They all come for violence; their faces are set like the east wind, and they gather captives like sand. 10 They scoff at kings, and the princes are scorned by them; they deride every stronghold, for they heap up dust and take it.
