Commentary on Habakkuk 2:13

Theological / Devotional

Lord of hosts. For comment see on Jer. 7:3. Very fire. All the buildings and fortresses the Babylonians erected through their despotic slave labor would finally only be fuel for the “fire”; and so shall they “weary themselves for very vanity” (see Jer. 51:29, 30, 58).
