Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Habakkuk 1:7

_ _ their judgment and ... dignity ... proceed of themselves — that is, they recognize no judge save themselves, and they get for themselves and keep their own “dignity” without needing others’ help. It will be vain for the Jews to complain of their tyrannical judgments; for whatever the Chaldeans decree they will do according to their own will, they will not brook anyone attempting to interfere.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Habakkuk 1:5-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Habakkuk 1:7

Their judgment — The law they observe, is their own will. Their dignity — Their authority is all from themselves, without respect to any other law or rule whatever.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Habakkuk 1:7

They [are] terrible and dreadful: (e) their judgment and their dignity shall proceed from themselves.

(e) They themselves will be your judges in this cause, and none will have authority over them to control them.
