The Lord’s Reply
5 “Looka among the nations and watch—
Be utterly astounded!
For I will work a work in your days
Which you would not believe, though it were told you.
Be utterly astounded!
For I will work a work in your days
Which you would not believe, though it were told you.
6 For indeed I am araising up the Chaldeans,
A bitter and hasty bnation
Which marches through the breadth of the earth,
To possess dwelling places that are not theirs.
A bitter and hasty bnation
Which marches through the breadth of the earth,
To possess dwelling places that are not theirs.
8 Their1 horses also are aswifter than leopards,
And more fierce than evening wolves.
Their chargers2 charge ahead;
Their cavalry comes from afar;
They fly as the beagle that hastens to eat.
And more fierce than evening wolves.
Their chargers2 charge ahead;
Their cavalry comes from afar;
They fly as the beagle that hastens to eat.
9 “They all come for violence;
Their faces are set like the east wind.
They gather captives like sand.
Their faces are set like the east wind.
They gather captives like sand.
