OET (OET-RV) Listen, I’m about to stir up the Babylonians—
⇔ that fierce and impetuous empire
⇔ that marches around the world to seize cities for themselves.
(Occurrence 0) look!

The word “look!” here alerts us to pay attention to the surprising information that follows.
(Occurrence 0) impetuous
(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when look,I raising_up DOM the=\add >ones\add*_from_Kasdiy the,nation the,bitter and,the,impetuous the,march through,breadth_of earth/land to,seize dwellings not to=him/it )
This could mean: (1) “violent” or (2) “hasty.”

(Occurrence 0) the breadth of the land

This could mean: (1) everywhere in Judah or (2) everywhere in the world. This would be an exaggeration to emphasize how powerful the Chaldean army is.
1:5-11 God’s answer to Habakkuk’s question is startling. God would send a violent people—the Babylonians—to deal with the violence in Judah. The Babylonian army, well-trained and battle-hardened, was an unstoppable force.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
