God’s Answer to Habakkuk
God’s Answer to Habakkuk
- 5 be astonished and astounded.
- For a work is about to be done in your days
- that you will not believe if it is told.
- 6 the bitter and impetuous nation,
- the one who walks through the spacious places of earth
- to take possession of dwellings not belonging to it.[fn]
- 7 [fn] are dreadful and awesome; their[fn] justice and their[fn] dignity proceed from themselves.[fn]
- 8 [fn] horses are more swift than leopards; they are more menacing than wolves at dusk.
- Their[fn] horsemen gallop; their[fn] horsemen come from afar;
- they fly like an eagle that is swift to devour.
- 9 [fn] come for violence, their faces pressing forward.
- They gather captives like the sand.
- 10 and rulers are a joke to them.
- They laugh at every fortification,
- and they heap up earth and take it.
- 11 like the wind and pass on; they become guilty, whose might is their[fn] god!”
