Habakkuk 1:5
Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
KJV
Aspicite in gentibus, et videte ; admiramini, et obstupescite : quia opus factum est in diebus vestris, quod nemo credet cum narrabitur.
Vulgate

LXX
Behold ye among the nations, and look, and wonder marvellously; for I am working a work in your days, which ye will not believe though it be told you.
