7 Son un pueblo temible y espantoso,que impone su propia justicia y grandeza.

Habacuc 1:7 Meaning and Commentary

Habakkuk 1:7

They [are] terrible and dreadful
For the fierceness of their countenances; the number and valour of their troops; the splendour of their armour; the victories they had obtained, and the cruelty they had exercised; the fame of all which spread terror wherever they came:

their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves;
they will not be directed and governed by any laws of God and man, but by their own; they will do according to their will and pleasure, and none will be able to gainsay and resist them; they will hear no reason or argument; their decrees and determinations they make of themselves shall be put into execution, and there will be no opposing their tyrannical measures; they will usurp a power, and take upon them an authority over others of themselves, which all must submit unto; no mercy and pity: no goodness and humanity, are to be expected from such lawless and imperious enemies.

Habacuc 1:7 In-Context

5 «¡Miren a las naciones!¡Contémplenlas y quédense asombrados!Estoy por hacer en estos días cosas tan sorprendentesque no las creerán aunque alguien se las explique.

6 Estoy incitando a los caldeos,ese pueblo despiadado e impetuoso,que recorre toda la tierrapara apoderarse de territorios ajenos.

7 Son un pueblo temible y espantoso,que impone su propia justicia y grandeza.

8 Sus caballos son más veloces que leopardos,más feroces que lobos nocturnos.Su caballería se lanza a todo galope;sus jinetes vienen de muy lejos.¡Caen como buitres sobre su presa!

9 Vienen en son de violencia;avanzan sus hordas como el viento del desierto,hacen prisioneros como quien recoge arena.
