God's Answer: The Rise of the Chaldeans
Habakkuk 1:5-11
5
"Look around among the nations! What you see will completely astound you! For what is going to be done in your days you will not believe, even when you are told.
6
I am raising up the Kasdim, that bitter and impetuous nation, who march far and wide over the earth to seize homes that are not their own.
7
Fearsome and dreadful they are; their rules and strength come from themselves.
8
Their horses are swifter than leopards, fiercer than wolves at night. Their cavalry gallop in from afar, flying like vultures rushing to feed.
9
All of them come for violence, their faces set eagerly forward, scooping up captives like sand.
10
They scoff at kings; princes they deride. They laugh at any fortress; they pile up earth and take it.
11
Then they sweep on like the wind, but they become guilty, because they make their strength their god."
