← Habakkuk 1:5	Habakkuk 1:6 (KJV)	Habakkuk 1:7 →
Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for [I] will work a work in your days, [which] ye will not believe, though it be told [you].	For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, [that] bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces [that are] not theirs.	They [are] terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
