3 Why do you make me see wrong thingsand make me look at trouble?People are destroying things and hurting others in front of me;they are arguing and fighting.
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 lifetimethat you won’t believe even when you are told about it.
6 I will use the Babylonians,those cruel and wild peoplewho march across the earthand take lands that don’t belong to them.
7 They scare and frighten people.They do what they want to doand are good only to themselves.
8 Their horses are faster than leopardsand quicker than wolves at sunset.Their horse soldiers attack quickly;they come from places far away.They attack quickly, like an eagle swooping down for food.
9 They all come to fight.Nothing can stop them.Their prisoners are as many as the grains of sand.
