ハバクク書 3:18 JC

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Habakkuk 3:16-19

(16-19) Habakkuk now reverts abruptly to the Divine sentence of Habakkuk 1:5 et seq., and describes with what emotion he meditates on the coming disasters, and on his own inability to prevent them. His anxiety is, however, swept aside by a joyful and overpowering confidence in God. These verses are a kind of appendix to the preceding poem. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Habakkuk 3:18

(18) Yet—i.e., in spite of all the afflictions predicted in Habakkuk 3:17. We are reminded of St. Paul’s expression of confidence in Romans 8:37. read more

A Prayer for Middle Life Habakkuk 3:2 What we commonly call a revival of religion is the conversion of the young on a large scale. But when youth, with its energies and hopes, is delivered from this present evil world and translated into the kingdom of God's dear Son, this is not revival. It is the access of life to life. But when those who have-known life of nature and of the spirit find it sinking in the midst of the years, to have it restored by the Divine breath this is indeed revival. I. ... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Habakkuk 3:1-19

Habakkuk 3:1-19The third chapter, an Ode or Rhapsody, is ascribed to Habakkuk by its title. This, however, does not prove its authenticity: the title is too like those assigned to the Psalms in the period of the Second Temple. On the contrary, the title itself, the occurrence of the musical sign Selah in the contents, and the colophon suggest for the chapter a liturgical origin after the Exile. That this is more probable than the alternative opinion, that, being a genuine work of Habakkuk, the... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Habakkuk 3:1-19

CHAPTER 3 The Vision of the Coming of the Lord 1. The prophet’s prayer (Habakkuk 3:1-2 ) 2. The coming of the Lord for judgment and redemption (Habakkuk 3:3-15 ) 3. The effect upon the prophet (Habakkuk 3:16-19 ) Habakkuk 3:1-2 . Once more we hear the voice of the man of God in prayer. Shigionoth is the plural of Shiggaion, and is found in the superscription of Psalms 7:1-17 . Its meaning is “loud crying.” The connection with the seventh Psalm is interesting. In that Psalm God appeared... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Habakkuk 3:1-19

HABAKKUK THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH Nothing is known of the personal history of Habakkuk, and little as to the time when he prophesied. He is placed by some successor to Zephaniah, for he makes no mention of Assyria and yet refers to the approach of the Babylonian invasion. See Habakkuk 1:6 ; Habakkuk 2:3 ; Habakkuk 3:2 ; Habakkuk 3:16-19 . The book seems to have been written by himself, as we judge from Habakkuk 1:2 , and Habakkuk 2:1-2 . His “burden” begins by lamenting the iniquity of... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Habakkuk 3:16-19

If we read these verses as we ought to read them, implying the spiritual effect wrought upon the mind of the Prophet, and in like manner what may be supposed in the same way to influence every child of God; they describe to us the wonderful and blessed consequences wrought in the heart by the Holy Ghost, in the contemplation of Jesus and his great salvation. Convinced by God the Spirit of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment, there will be trembling under a sense, of iniquity, and like... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Habakkuk 3:18

Jesus. Hebrew yishi, "my (Haydock) salvation." (Calmet) --- Septuagint, "saviour." Chaldean, "redeemer." (Haydock) --- Jesus was the desire of all nations, and he imparts true joy to the faithful, John viii. 56. (Calmet) --- At the last day, plagues similar to those of Egypt will occur; but the elect shall rejoice. (St. Jerome) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Habakkuk 3:16-19

16-19 When we see a day of trouble approach, it concerns us to prepare. A good hope through grace is founded in holy fear. The prophet looked back upon the experiences of the church in former ages, and observed what great things God had done for them, and so was not only recovered, but filled with holy joy. He resolved to delight and triumph in the Lord; for when all is gone, his God is not gone. Destroy the vines and the fig-trees, and you make all the mirth of a carnal heart to cease. But... read more
