Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Habakkuk 1:2

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

2, 3. violence . . . Why dost thou show me iniquity? —Similar language is used of the Chaldeans ( Habakkuk 1:9 ; Habakkuk 1:13 ), as here is used of the Jews: implying, that as the Jews sinned by violence and injustice, so they should be punished by violence and injustice ( Habakkuk 1:13- : ). Jehoiakim's reign was marked by injustice, treachery, and bloodshed ( Jeremiah 22:3 ; Jeremiah 22:13-17 ). Therefore the Chaldeans should be sent to deal with him and his nobles according to their dealings with others ( Habakkuk 1:6 ; Habakkuk 1:10 ; Habakkuk 1:11 ; Habakkuk 1:17 ). Compare Jeremiah's expostulation with Jehovah, Jeremiah 12:1 ; Jeremiah 20:8 ; Job 19:7 ; Job 19:8 . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-3" class="com-number"
