Habakkuk 1:6-10

6 “For behold, I am ^araising up the Chaldeans,
That ^{▼▼Lit bitter}grim and impetuous people
Who march ^{▼▼Lit the breadth of}throughout the earth,
To ^dtake possession of dwelling places that are not theirs.
7 “They are terrifying and ^efeared;
Their ^fjustice and ^{▼▼Lit sovereignty}authority ^{▼▼Lit proceed from}originate with themselves.
8 “Their ⁱhorses are faster than leopards,
And quicker than ^jwolves in the evening.
Their ^{▼▼Or horses}horsemen charge along,
Their ^{▼▼Or horses}horsemen come from afar;
They fly like an ^meagle ^{▼▼Lit hurrying to}swooping down to devour.
9 “All of them come for violence.
^{▼▼Lit The totality of}Their horde of ^pfaces moves forward.
They gather captives like sand.
10 “They ^qmake fun of kings,
And dignitaries are an object of laughter to them.
They ^rlaugh at every fortress,
Then ^sheap up dirt and ^{▼▼Or overthrow}capture it.
