Habakkuk 2:7

_ _ suddenly — the answer to the question, “How long?” (Habakkuk 2:6).

_ _ bite — often used of usury; so favoring Lee’s rendering (Habakkuk 2:6). As the Chaldean, like a usurer, oppressed others, so other nations shall, like usurers, take pledges of, that is, spoil, him.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Habakkuk 2:5-14.
