Habakkuk 1:5-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁵ Look at the nations, and see!
    Be astonished! Be astounded!
For a work is being done in your days
    that you would not believe if you were told.
⁶ For I am rousing the Chaldeans,
    that fierce and impetuous nation,
who march through the breadth of the earth
    to seize dwellings not their own.
⁷ Dread and fearsome are they;
    their justice and dignity proceed from themselves.
