Habakkuk 1:5-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
5
'Look among the nations! Watch!
Be horrified! Be frightened speechless!
For
I am
accomplishing a work in your days—
You would not believe
it even
if you were told!
6
For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans,
That grim and impetuous people
Who march throughout the earth,
To take possession of dwelling places that are not theirs.
7
They are terrifying and feared;
Their justice and authority originate with themselves.
8
Their horses are faster than leopards,
And quicker than wolves in the evening.
Their horsemen charge along,
Their horsemen come from afar;
They fly like an eagle swooping down to devour.
King James Version
Chapter 1
5
Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
6
For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs.
7
They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
8
Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 1
5
Look at the nations and observe —
be utterly astounded!
For I am doing something in your days
that you will not believe
when you hear about it.
6
Look! I am raising up the Chaldeans,
that bitter, impetuous nation
that marches across the earth’s open spaces
to seize territories not its own.
7
They are fierce and terrifying;
their views of justice and sovereignty
stem from themselves.
8
Their horses are swifter than leopards
and more fierce than wolves of the night.
Their horsemen charge ahead;
their horsemen come from distant lands.
They fly like eagles, swooping to devour.
New Living Translation
Chapter 1
5
The
Lord
replied,
'Look around at the nations;
look and be amazed!
For I am doing something in your own day,
something you wouldn’t believe
even if someone told you about it.
6
I am raising up the Babylonians,
a cruel and violent people.
They will march across the world
and conquer other lands.
7
They are notorious for their cruelty
and do whatever they like.
8
Their horses are swifter than cheetahs
and fiercer than wolves at dusk.
Their charioteers charge from far away.
Like eagles, they swoop down to devour their prey.
English Standard Version
Chapter 1
5
"Look among the nations, and see;
wonder and be astounded.
For I am doing a work in your days
that you would not believe if told.
6
For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans,
that bitter and hasty nation,
who march through the breadth of the earth,
to seize dwellings not their own.
7
They are dreaded and fearsome;
their justice and dignity go forth from themselves.
8
Their horses are swifter than leopards,
more fierce than the evening wolves;
their horsemen press proudly on.
Their horsemen come from afar;
they fly like an eagle swift to devour.
New International Version
Chapter 1
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,
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;
New King James Version
Chapter 1
5
“Look among the nations and watch—
Be utterly astounded!
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,
A bitter and hasty nation
Which marches through the breadth of the earth,
To possess dwelling places
that are
not theirs.
7
They are terrible and dreadful;
Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.
8
Their horses also are swifter than leopards,
And more fierce than evening wolves.
Their chargers charge ahead;
Their cavalry comes from afar;
They fly as the eagle
that
hastens to eat.
