Commentary on Habakkuk 1:10

Theological / Devotional

Scoff. From the heights of their own self-esteem (see on v. 7), the Babylonians would look down on and laugh at foreign kings and princes. Heap dust. An allusion to the making of a mound or embankment of earth to attack a city (see on 2 Sam. 20:15; see also illustration in Vol. II, facing p. 64). The LXX reads, “cast a mound.”
