5 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. |
6 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. |
7 They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves. |
8 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat. |
9 They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand. |
10 And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it. |
11 Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god. |
