3. Why do you show me injustice and look at anguishso that devastation and violence are before me?There is strife, and conflict abounds.
4. The Instruction is ineffective.Justice does not endurebecause the wicked surround the righteous.Justice becomes warped.
5. Look among the nations and watch!Be astonished and starebecause something is happening in your daysthat you wouldn’t believe even if told.
6. I am about to rouse the Chaldeans,that bitter and impetuous nation,which travels throughout the earth to possess dwelling places it does not own.
7. The Chaldean is dreadful and fearful.He makes his own justice and dignity.
8. His horses are faster than leopards;they are quicker than wolves of the evening.His horsemen charge forward;his horsemen come from far away.They fly in to devour, swiftly, like an eagle.
9. They come for violence,the horde with all their faces set toward the desert.He takes captives like sand.
10. He makes fun of kings;rulers are ridiculous to him.He laughs at every fortress,then he piles up dirt and takes it.
