Habakkuk 1:6
_ _ I raise up — not referring to God’s having brought the Chaldeans from their original seats to Babylonia (see on Isaiah 23:13), for they had already been upwards of twenty years (since Nabopolassar’s era) in political power there; but to His being about now to raise them up as the instruments of God’s “work” of judgment on the Jews (2 Chronicles 36:6). The Hebrew is future, “I will raise up.”
_ _ bitter — that is, cruel (Jeremiah 50:42; compare Judges 18:25, Margin; 2 Samuel 17:8).
_ _ hasty — not passionate, but “impetuous.” |
Habakkuk 1:6
Bitter — Cruel, and without mercy. Hasty — Speedy in executing their merciless purposes. |
