The words “Look among the nations” and “I am raising up the Chaldeans”
열국을 보고 놀라라 하시고 갈대아 사람을 두고 이르신 여호와의 말씀
Habakkuk 1:5–11: the text says, “Look among the nations, watch, and wonder marvelously; for I am working a work in your days which you will not believe though it is told you. For, behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation who march through the width of the earth, to possess dwelling places that are not theirs. They are feared and dreaded. Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves. Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves. Their horsemen press proudly on. Yes, their horsemen come from afar. They fly as an eagle that hurries to devour. All of them come for violence. Their hordes face forward. They gather prisoners like sand. Yes, they scoff at kings, and princes are a derision to them. They laugh at every stronghold, for they build up an earthen ramp and take it. Then they sweep by like the wind and go on. They are indeed guilty, whose strength is their god.” WEB names no speaker for these words. The Korean Revised Version opens 1:5 with 여호와께서 가라사대, the LORD said; at 1:6 it reads 갈대아 사람을 일으켰나니, in the past, where WEB reads “I am raising up the Chaldeans”; and at 1:11 it gives first that they make their strength their god (그들은 그 힘으로 자기 신을 삼는 자라), then that they sweep by like the wind and become guilty.
