Timeless Truth

God’s Word had meaning for he people of Judah. It seems it also has meaning for us today

Habakkuk 1:1-17

Chaldeans Used to Punish Judah

¹ The oracle which Habakkuk the prophet saw. ² How long, O LORD, will I call for help, And You will not hear? I cry out to You, “Violence!” Yet You do not save. ³ Why do You make me see iniquity, And cause me to look on wickedness? Yes, destruction and violence are before me; Strife exists and contention arises. ⁴ Therefore the law is ignored And justice is never upheld. For the wicked surround the righteous; Therefore justice comes out perverted. ⁵ “Look among the nations! Observe! Be astonished! Wonder! Because I am doing something in your days – You would not believe if you were told. ⁶ “For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans, That fierce and impetuous people Who march throughout the earth To seize dwelling places which are not theirs. ⁷ “They are dreaded and feared; Their justice and authority originate with themselves. ^….11 “Then they will sweep through like the wind and pass on. But they will be held guilty, They whose strength is their god.” ^12…..You, O LORD, have appointed them to judge; And You, O Rock, have established them to correct.
