The Pulpit Commentary - Habakkuk 1:5-11

Judgment on the wing. I. ITS CHARACTER DESCRIBED . ( Habakkuk 1:5 .) 1 . Its subjects. The land and people of Judah ( Habakkuk 1:6 ). These, though Jehovah's covenanted people, had declined from his worship, departed from his ways, dishonoured his Name. It was in the covenant that, under such circumstances, they should be chastised ( 2 Samuel 7:14 ; Psalms 89:30 ); and Jehovah is never unmindful of his covenant engagements ( Psalms 111:5 ), if men are of theirs ( 2... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Habakkuk 1:5-11

The Divine working against evil and its doers. We have expressed here God's response to the impassioned appeal addressed to him by his servant. There is much that is suggestive in these words as bearing upon the Divine working against those who practise sin and who persist in its commission. Note— I. THAT GOD IS NOT INDIFFERENT WITH RESPECT TO PREVAILING UNGODLINESS . The seer had asked, "How long?" ( Habakkuk 1:2 ). He was impatient of delay. But whilst there is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Habakkuk 1:6

The executors of the Divine vengeance are now plainly announced. I raise up. God does it; he uses the power and passion of men to work out his designs ( 1 Kings 11:14 , 1 Kings 11:23 ; Amos 6:14 ). The Chaldeans ; Kasidim. By this appellation the prophets signify the soldiers or inhabitants of Babylon, which won its independence and commenced its wonderfully rapid career of conquest after the tall of Nineveh, between B.C. 626 and 608. At the time when Habakkuk wrote the Chaldeans... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Habakkuk 1:5

Behold ye among the heathen - The whole tone of the words suddenly changes. The Jews flattered themselves that, being the people of God, He would not fulfill His threats upon them. They had become like the pagan in wickedness; God bids them look out among them for the instrument of His displeasure. It was an aggravation of their punishment, that God, who had once chosen them, would now choose these whom He had not chosen, to chasten them. So Moses had foretold; Deuteronomy 32:21, “They have... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Habakkuk 1:6

For lo - So God announces a future, in which His Hand shall be greatly visible, whether more or less distant. In His sight it is present.I raise up - God uses the free will and evil passions of people or devils to His own ends; and so He is said to “raise up” those whom He allows to be stirred up against His people, since the events which His Providence permits, favor their designs, and it rests with Him to withhold them. They lift themselves up for some end of covetousness or pride. But there... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Habakkuk 1:5

Habakkuk 1:5. Behold, &c. For a punishment of such exorbitant practices, behold, God is about to make the heathen the instruments of his vengeance. Ye among the heathen, and regard Consider and weigh it well, in its nature and consequences; for it is intended as a warning to you, and assures you that judgment will overtake you also. And wonder marvellously As astonished at judgments too great to be described, and so strange that they will appear to many, even of God’s professing... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Habakkuk 1:6

Habakkuk 1:6. For lo, I raise up the Chaldeans This is spoken of as a matter of great wonder and astonishment, because the Chaldeans, in the times of Hezekiah, Manasseh, and Josiah, were allies of the Jewish nation, and seemed linked to them in the greatest friendship; so that they had no fear on that side, but all their fear was from the Egyptians. Therefore the coming of the Chaldeans into the country is spoken of here as a thing entirely new, and as if that people had been called into... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Habakkuk 1:1-11

1:1-2:5 HABAKKUK COMPLAINS AND GOD ANSWERSFirst complaint and answer (1:1-11)Despite Habakkuk’s zealous preaching and fervent prayer, Judah shows no sign of improvement. All around him the prophet sees violence, lawlessness, injustice and all sorts of other social evils. Knowing God is holy and just, he asks God how long will he allow this wickedness to go unpunished (1:1-4).God replies that he is preparing the Babylonians (Chaldeans) to punish Judah. God has not told the Judeans about this,... read more
