Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Habakkuk 1:11

_ _ Then — when elated by his successes.

_ _ shall his mind change — He shall lose whatever of reason or moderation ever was in him, with pride.

_ _ he shall pass over — all bounds and restraints: his pride preparing the sure way for his destruction (Proverbs 16:18). The language is very similar to that describing Nebuchadnezzar’s “change” from man’s heart (understanding) to that of a beast, because of pride (see on Daniel 4:16; see on Daniel 4:30, Daniel 4:31; see on Daniel 4:33, Daniel 4:34). An undesigned coincidence between the two sacred books written independently.

_ _ imputing this his power unto his god — (Daniel 5:4). Sacrilegious arrogance, in ascribing to his idol Bel the glory that belongs to God [Calvin]. Grotius explains, “(saying that) his power is his own as one who is a god to himself” (compare Habakkuk 1:16, and Daniel 3:1-30). So Maurer, “He shall offend as one to whom his power is his god” (Job 12:6; see on Micah 2:1).

(i) The Prophet comforts the faithful that God will also destroy the Babylonians, because they will abuse this victory, and become proud and insolent, attributing the praise of this to their idols.
