Ezekiel 23:45-47
New King James Version
45 But righteous men will (A)judge them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and (B)blood is on their hands.
46 “For thus says the Lord God: (C)‘Bring up an assembly against them, give them up to trouble and plunder. 47 (D)The assembly shall stone them with stones and [a]execute them with their swords; (E)they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn their houses with fire.

Habakkuk 1:6-10
New King James Version
6 For indeed I am (A)raising up the Chaldeans,
A bitter and hasty (B)nation
Which marches through the breadth of the earth,
To possess dwelling places that are not theirs.
7 They are terrible and dreadful;
Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.
8 Their horses also are (C)swifter than leopards,
And more fierce than evening wolves.
Their [a]chargers [b]charge ahead;
Their cavalry comes from afar;
They fly as the (D)eagle that hastens to eat.
9 “They all come for violence;
Their faces are set like the east wind.
They gather captives like sand.
10 They scoff at kings,
And princes are scorned by them.
They deride every stronghold,
For they heap up earthen mounds and seize it.
