Habakkuk 1:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 For lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and furious nation, which shall go upon the breadth of the land to possess the dwelling places that are not theirs.
7 They are terrible and fearful: [a]their judgment, and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
8 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the wolves in the (A)evening: and their horsemen are many: and their horsemen shall come from far: they shall fly as the eagle hasting to meat.

Habakkuk 1:6-8
English Standard Version
6 For behold, (A)I am raising up the Chaldeans,
that bitter and hasty nation,
(B)who march through the breadth of the earth,
(C)to seize dwellings not their own.
7 They are dreaded and fearsome;
(D)their justice and dignity go forth from themselves.
8 (E)Their horses are swifter than leopards,
more fierce than (F)the evening wolves;
their horsemen press proudly on.
Their horsemen come from afar;
(G)they fly like an eagle swift to devour.
