Habakkuk 1:5-7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

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 lo, I am rousing the Chalde′ans,
    that bitter and hasty nation,
who march through the breadth of the earth,
    to seize habitations not their own.
⁷ Dread and terrible are they;
    their justice and dignity proceed from themselves.
