Commentary on Habakkuk 2:8

Theological / Devotional

Spoil thee. In revenge, “all the remnant” of the nations taken and spoiled by the Babylonians, chiefly the Medes and Persians, will overthrow the Chaldeans (see Isa. 21:2 ; 33:1). The capture of Babylon will avenge the “blood” the Babylonians cruelly shed. The land. Some believe that the prophet here refers particularly to the land of Palestine.
