Habakkuk 1:2-3
_ _ 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 (Proverbs 1:31). 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; and Job 19:7, Job 19:8. |
Habakkuk 1:2
O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! [even] cry out to thee (a) [of] violence, and thou wilt not save!
(a) The Prophet complains to God, and bewails that among the Jews is left no fairness and brotherly love: but instead of these reigns cruelty, theft, contention, and strife. |
- how:
Psalms 13:1-2 [[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.]] How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? ... How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
Psalms 74:9-10 We see not our signs: [there is] no more any prophet: neither [is there] among us any that knoweth how long. ... O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
Psalms 94:3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
Revelation 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

- and thou wilt not save:
Psalms 22:1-2 [[To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David.]] My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [why art thou so] far from helping me, [and from] the words of my roaring? ... O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
Jeremiah 14:9 Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man [that] cannot save? yet thou, O LORD, [art] in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not.
Lamentations 3:8 Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
