Habacuc 1

Perché, ecco, io sto per suscitare i Caldei, questa nazione aspra e impetuosa, che percorre la terra quant’è larga, per impadronirsi di dimore, che non son sue.

Porque he aquí, yo levanto los Caldeos, gente amarga y presurosa, que camina por la anchura de la tierra para poseer las habitaciones ajenas.

For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs.

For, behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation who march through the width of the earth, to possess dwelling places that are not theirs.
