- "He¹ and his peopleª with¹ him, the terribleª of the nations,ª shall be broughtª° to destroyª° the land:ª and they shall drawª° their swordsª against¹ Egypt,ª and fillª°¹ the landª with the slain.ª" {Ezk 30:11} + "And strangers,ª° the terribleª of the nations,ª have cut him off,ª° and have leftª° him: upon¹ the mountainsª and in all¹ the valleysª his branchesª are fallen,ª° and his boughsª are brokenª° by all¹ the riversª of the land;ª and all¹ the peopleª of the earthª are gone downª° from his shadow,ª¹ and have leftª° him." {Ezk 31:12} + "By the swordsª of the mightyª will I cause thy multitudeª to fall,ª° the terribleª of the nations,ª all¹ of them: and they shall spoilª°¹ the pompª of Egypt,ª and all¹ the multitudeª thereof shall be destroyed.ª°" {Ezk 32:12} + "The LORDª shall bringª° a nationª against¹ thee from far,ª¹ from the endª¹ of the earth,ª [as swift] as¹ the eagleª flieth;ª° a nationª whose¹ tongueª thou shalt not¹ understand;ª° ... A nationª of fierceª countenance,ª which¹ shall not¹ regardª° the personª of the old,ª nor¹ shew favourª° to the young:ª" {Deu 28:49-50} + "Therefore¹¹ shall the strongª peopleª glorifyª° thee, the cityª of the terribleª nationsª shall fearª° thee. ... For¹ thou hast been¹ a strengthª to the poor,ª a strengthª to the needyª in his distress,ª a refugeª from the storm,ª¹ a shadowª from the heat,ª¹ when¹ the blastª of the terrible onesª [is] as a stormª [against] the wall.ª" {Isa 25:3-4} + "Afterª thisª I sawªª°° in the nightª visions,ª and beholdª a fourthª beast,ª dreadfulª° and terrible,ª and strongª exceedingly;ª and it had greatª ironª¹ teeth:ª it devouredª° and brake in pieces,ª° and stampedª° the residueª with the feetª of it: and itª [was] diverseª° fromª allª the beastsª that¹ [were] beforeª it; and it had tenª horns.ª" {Dan 7:7} + "For,¹ lo,¹ I raise upª°¹ the Chaldeans,ª [that] bitterª and hastyª° nation,ª which shall marchª° through the breadthª of the land,ª to possessª° the dwellingplacesª [that are] not¹ theirs. ... Their horsesª also are swifterª° than the leopards,ª¹ and are more fierceª° than the eveningª wolves:ª¹ and their horsemenª shall spreadª° themselves, and their horsemenª shall comeª° from far;ª¹ they shall flyª° as the eagleª [that] hastethª° to eat.ª°" {Hab 1:6-8}
