Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Habakkuk 2:8

_ _ the remnant of the people — Those remaining of the peoples spoiled by thee, though but a remnant, will suffice to inflict vengeance on thee.

_ _ the violence of the land ... city — that is, on account of thy violent oppression of the lands and cities of the earth [Grotius] (compare Habakkuk 2:5, Habakkuk 2:6, Habakkuk 2:12). The same phrase occurs in Habakkuk 2:17, where the “land” and “city” are Judea and Jerusalem.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Habakkuk 2:5-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Habakkuk 2:8

Of the land — Of the whole land of Chaldea. The city — Babylon.
