King James Version (KJV)
Habakkuk 1:7
“They [are] terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.”
Verse in context — Habakkuk 1
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].
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.
They [are] terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
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.
They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up [as] the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
