Commentary on Hab 1.13

Faithlife Study Bible, “Habakkuk questions why Yahweh permits the Babylonians to devour the kingdom of Judah. The prophet suggests that Yahweh’s holiness should have caused Him to prevent the oppression of the people of Judah, especially since some of them remained faithful to Him. Habakkuk complains that Yahweh remains idle and silent despite Judah’s suffering.”
