   Habakkuk 1:5-11   
   The Lord’s Answer   
      
   5 “Look at the nations and watch—   
   and be utterly amazed.   
   For I am going to do something in your days   
   that you would not believe,   
   even if you were told.   
      
   6 I am raising up the Babylonians, a   
   that ruthless and impetuous people,   
   who sweep across the whole earth   
   to seize dwellings not their own.   
      
   7 They are a feared and dreaded people;   
   they are a law to themselves   
   and promote their own honor.   
      
   8 Their horses are swifter than leopards,   
   fiercer than wolves at dusk.   
   Their cavalry gallops headlong;   
   their horsemen come from afar.   
   They fly like an eagle swooping to devour;   
      
   9 they all come intent on violence.   
   Their hordes advance like a desert wind   
   and gather prisoners like sand.   
      
   10 They mock kings   
   and scoff at rulers.   
   They laugh at all fortified cities;   
   by building earthen ramps they capture them.   
      
   11 Then they sweep past like the wind and go on—   
   guilty people, whose own strength is their god.”   
      
   This is the word of the LORD.   
   Amen.
