Habakkuk 1:7-9. Their judgment, &c., shall proceed of themselves They will judge themselves of what they shall do, without paying regard to any thing but their own will, and shall have power to put in execution whatever they resolve upon.

When the leopard leaps, he throws himself seventeen or eighteen... read more

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.

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

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Habakkuk 1:9

Habakkuk 1:9. Their faces shall sup, &c.— A burning wind goes before them, and gathers captives as the sand. Houbigant. They shall carry desolation, destruction, and fire every where before them. The winds which blew from Arabia the Desert were extremely hot, and very dangerous, not only on account of their own heat, but on account of the dust and sand which they brought with them. See Jeremiah 4:11; Jeremiah 18:17. Ezekiel 17:10; Ezekiel 19:12. read more

B. Yahweh’s answer about Judah 1:5-11Though God had not responded to the prophet’s questions previously, He did eventually, and Habakkuk recorded His answer. The form of this revelation is an oracle."The hoped-for response to a lament (cf. Habakkuk 1:2-4) would be an oracle of salvation, but here the response is an oracle of judgment." [Note: David W. Baker, Nahum, Habakkuk and Zephaniah, p. 52.] read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Habakkuk 1:9

The Babylonians loved violence. The faces of their warriors showed their love for battle as they moved irresistibly forward in conquest. They were as effective at collecting captives from other countries as the sirocco winds from the East were at driving dust before them (cf. Jeremiah 18:17; Ezekiel 17:10; Ezekiel 19:12; Jonah 4:8). This enemy was advancing like a whirlwind and gathering captives as innumerable as the sand. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Habakkuk 1:1-17

The Prophet’s burden. The Answer of Jehovah1. Burden] RM ’oracle’: see on Isaiah 13:1.2, 3. How long?.. Why?] Even a prophet (Habakkuk 1:1) can ask such questions. He never denies the existence of God, but he cannot understand His seeming failure to interpose in human affairs. In the end, however, the despondency merges into a faith which can believe where it cannot see (Habakkuk 2:3; Habakkuk 3:17.).5. Behold ye among the heathen] For this we ought to read, ’Behold, ye treacherous’ (as in the... read more
