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.
