Habakkuk 1:7 Context
5¶ Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marueilously: for I wil worke a worke in your daies, which yee will not beleeue, though it be tolde you. 6For loe, I raise vp the Caldeans, that bitter and hastie nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possesse the dwelling places that are not theirs. 7They are terrible and dreadfull: their iudgement and their dignity shal proceed of themselues. 8Their horses also are swifter then the leopards, and are more fierce then the euening wolues: & their horsemen shall spread themselues, and their horsemen shall come from farre, they shall flie as the Eagle that hasteth to eate. 9They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup vp as the East winde, and they shall gather the captiuitie as the sand.
