Commentary on Habakkuk 1:6

Theological / Devotional

Chaldeans. Heb. Kasdim (see on Dan. 1:4). The nation of Babylon is now revealed as the agent of divine anger whom God will “raise up” to serve His purpose. Hasty. Heb. nimhar, “impetuous.” This foretells the rapid movement of Babylonian conquests, aptly represented by the figure of the “eagle’s wings” of Daniel’s prophecy (see on Dan. 7:4).
