Habakkuk 1:6 in Context — Habakkuk 1
4 Aussi la loi n’a point de vie, La justice n’a point de force; Car le méchant triomphe du juste, Et l’on rend des jugements iniques.
5 Jetez les yeux parmi les nations, regardez, Et soyez saisis d’étonnement, d’épouvante! Car je vais faire en vos jours une œuvre, Que vous ne croiriez pas si on la racontait.
6 Voici, je vais susciter les Chaldéens, Peuple furibond et impétueux, Qui traverse de vastes étendues de pays, Pour s’emparer de demeures qui ne sont pas à lui.
7 Il est terrible et formidable; De lui seul viennent son droit et sa grandeur.
8 Ses chevaux sont plus rapides que les léopards, Plus agiles que les loups du soir, Et ses cavaliers s’avancent avec orgueil; Ses cavaliers arrivent de loin, Ils volent comme l’aigle qui fond sur sa proie.
