Habakkuk 2:5


5
And indeed, awine betrays the bhaughty man
So that he does not cstay at home.
He denlarges his appetite like Sheol,
And he is like death, never satisfied.
He also gathers to himself all nations
And assembles to himself all peoples.

Habakkuk 1:6-10


6
For behold, I am araising up the Chaldeans,
That bitter and hasty nation
Who walks on the breadth of the land
To bpossess dwelling places which are not theirs.

7
They are dreaded and afeared;
Their bjustice and exaltation come forth from themselves.

8
Their ahorses are swifter than leopards
And 1sharper than bwolves in the evening.
Their 2horsemen come galloping;
Their horsemen come from afar;
They fly like an ceagle swooping down to devour.

9
All of them come for violence.
1Their horde of afaces moves forward.
And they gather captives like sand.

10
And they amock at kings,
And rulers are a laughing matter to them.
They blaugh at every fortress
And cheap up dirt and capture it.

Habakkuk 1:13-17


13
Your eyes are too apure to see evil,
And You cannot look on trouble.
Why do You blook
On those who deal ctreacherously?
Why are You dsilent when the wicked eswallow up
Those more righteous than they?

14
And You have made men like the fish of the sea,
Like creeping things without a ruler over them.

15
The Chaldeans abring all of them up with a hook,
bDrag them away with their net,
And gather them together in their fishing net.
Therefore they are glad and rejoice.

16
Therefore they offer a sacrifice to their net
And 1burn incense to their fishing net
Because through athese things their portion is rich
And their food is fat.

17
Will they therefore empty their anet
And continually bkill nations without sparing?
