Habakkuk 1:8 in Context — Habakkuk 1
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.
9 Tout ce peuple vient pour se livrer au pillage; Ses regards avides se portent en avant, Et il assemble des prisonniers comme du sable.
10 Il se moque des rois, Et les princes font l’objet de ses railleries; Il se rit de toutes les forteresses, Il amoncelle de la terre, et il les prend.
