Habakkuk 1:6-8

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.
