(embracing)
Deeply exercised over God’s silence as to the iniquitous state of Judah, the prophet pronounces their punishment by the proud and fierce Chaldean, whom God will yet judge. Habakkuk represents a waiting godly remnant. Faith trusts and waits God’s deliverance, come what will, which is the theme of “the Psalm” of the last chapter. Chapter 2:4 is quoted three times by Paul.
B.C. 626.
