Habakkuk 1:4-6

New Century Version

⁴ So the teachings are weak,
    and justice never comes.
Evil people gain while good people lose;
    the judges no longer make fair decisions.

⁵ “Look at the nations!
    Watch them and be amazed and shocked.
I will do something in your lifetime
    that you won’t believe even when you are told about it.
⁶ I will use the Babylonians,
    those cruel and wild people
who march across the earth
    and take lands that don’t belong to them.
