Habakkuk 1:5 - The Message

"Look around at the godless nations.
   Look long and hard. Brace yourself for a shock.
Something’s about to take place
   and you’re going to find it hard to believe.
I’m about to raise up Babylonians to punish you,
   Babylonians, fierce and ferocious—
World-conquering Babylon,
   grabbing up nations right and left,
A dreadful and terrible people,
   making up its own rules as it goes.
Their horses run like the wind,
   attack like bloodthirsty wolves.
A stampede of galloping horses
   thunders out of nowhere.
They descend like vultures
   circling in on carrion.
They’re out to kill. Death is on their minds.
   They collect victims like squirrels gathering nuts.
They mock kings,
   poke fun at generals,
Spit on forts,
   and leave them in the dust.
They’ll all be blown away by the wind.
   Brazen in sin, they call strength their god."
