He lived to see +this prophecy fulfilled, and for many years after, according to the +general opinion, which supposes him to be the same that was brought by +the ANGEL to DANIEL in BABYLON, Dan. 14. + + +Habacuc Chapter 1 + +The prophet complains of the wickedness of the people: God reveals to +him the vengeance he is going to take of them by the Chaldeans. + +1:1. The burden that Habacuc the prophet saw. + +Burden... Such prophecies more especially are called burdens, as +threaten grievous evils and punishments. + +1:2. How long, O Lord, shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear? shall I cry +out to thee suffering violence, and thou wilt not save? + +1:3. Why hast thou shewn me iniquity and grievance, to see rapine and +injustice before me? and there is a judgment, but opposition is more +powerful. + +1:4. Therefore the law is torn in pieces, and judgment cometh not to the +end: because the wicked prevaileth against the just, therefore wrong +judgment goeth forth. + +1:5. Behold ye among the nations, and see: wonder, and be astonished: +for a work is done in your days, which no man will believe when it shall +be told. + +1:6. For behold, I will raise up the Chaldeans, a bitter and swift +nation, marching upon the breadth of the earth, to possess the dwelling +places that are not their own. + +1:7. They are dreadful, and terrible: from themselves shall their +judgment, and their burden proceed. + +1:8. Their horses are lighter than leopards, and swifter than evening +wolves; and their horsemen shall be spread abroad: for their horsemen +shall come from afar, they shall fly as an eagle that maketh haste to +eat. + +1:9. They shall all come to the prey, their face is like a burning wind: +and they shall gather together captives as the sand. + +1:10. And their prince shall triumph over kings, and princes shall be +his laughingstock: and he shall laugh at every strong hold, and shall +cast up a mount, and shall take it. + +1:11. Then shall his spirit be changed, and he shall pass, and fall: +this is his strength of his god. + +Then shall his spirit, etc... Viz., the spirit of the king of Babylon. +It alludes to the judgment of God upon Nabuchodonosor, recorded Dan. 4., +and to the speedy fall of the Chaldean empire. + +1:12. Wast thou not from the beginning, O Lord my God, my holy one, and +we shall not die? Lord, thou hast appointed him for judgment: and made +him strong for correction. + +1:13. Thy eyes are too pure to behold evil, and thou canst not look on +iniquity. Why lookest thou upon them that do unjust things, and holdest +thy peace when the wicked devoureth the man that is more just than +himself? + +1:14. And thou wilt make men as the fishes of the sea, and as the +creeping things that have no ruler. + +1:15. He lifted up all them with his hook, he drew them in his drag, and +gathered them into his net: for this he will be glad and rejoice. + +1:16. Therefore will he offer victims to his drag, and he will sacrifice +to his net: because through them his portion is made fat, and his meat +dainty. + +1:17. For this cause therefore he spreadeth his net, and will not spare +continually to slay the nations. + +Habacuc Chapter 2 + +The prophet is admonished to wait with faith. The enemies of God's +people shall assuredly be punished. + +2:1. I will stand upon my watch, and fix my foot upon the tower: and I +will watch, to see what will be said to me, and what I may answer to him +that reproveth me. + +Will stand, etc... Waiting to see what the Lord will answer to my +complaint, viz., that the Chaldeans, who are worse than the Jews, and +who attribute all their success to their own strength, or to their +idols, should nevertheless prevail over the people of the Lord. The +Lord's answer is, that the prophet must wait with patience and faith: +that all should be set right in due time; and the enemies of God and his +people punished according to their deserts. + +2:2. And the Lord answered me, and said: Write the vision, and make it +plain upon tables: that he that readeth it may run over it. + +2:3. For as yet the vision is far off, and it shall appear at the end, +and shall notlie: if it make any delay, wait for it: for it shall surely +come, and it shall not be slack. + +2:4. Behold, he that is unbelieving, his soul shall not be right in +himself: but the just shall live in his faith. + +2:5. And as wine deceiveth him that drinketh it: so shall the proud man +be, and he shall not be honoured: who hath enlarged his desire like +hell: and is himself like death, and he is never satisfied: but will +gather together unto him all nations, and heap together unto him all +people. + +As wine deceiveth, etc... Viz., by affording only a short passing +pleasure; followed by the evils and disgrace that are the usual +consequences of drunkenness; so shall it be with the proud enemies of +the people of God; whose success affordeth them only a momentary +pleasure, followed by innumerable and everlasting evils. + +2:6. Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a dark +speech concerning him: and it shall be said: Woe to him that heapeth +together that which is not his own? how long also doth he load himself +with thick clay? + +Thick clay... Ill-gotten goods, that, like mire, both burden and defile +the soul. + +2:7. Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee: and they be +stirred up that shall tear thee, and thou shalt be a spoil to them? + +2:8. Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all that shall be left of +the people shall spoil thee: because of men's blood, and for the +iniquity of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein. + +2:9. Woe to him that gathereth together an evil covetousness to his +house, that his nest may be on high, and thinketh he may be delivered +out of the hand of evil. + +2:10. Thou hast devised confusion to thy house, thou hast cut off many +people, and thy soul hath sinned. + +2:11. For the stone shall cry out of the wall: and the timber that is +between the joints of the building, shall answer. + +2:12. Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and prepareth a city +by iniquity. + +2:13. Are not these things from the Lord of hosts? for the people shall +labour in a great fire: and the nations in vain, and they shall faint. + +Are not these things, etc... That is, shall not these punishments that +are here recorded, come from the Lord upon him that is guilty of such +crimes.-Ibid. The people shall labour, etc... Viz., the enemies of God's +people. + +2:14. For the earth shall be filled, that men may know the glory of the +Lord, as waters covering the sea. + +2:15. Woe to him that giveth drink to his friend, and presenteth his +gall, and maketh him drunk, that he may behold his nakedness. + +2:16. Thou art filled with shame instead of glory: drink thou also, and +fall fast asleep: the cup of the right hand of the Lord shall compass +thee, and shameful vomiting shall be on thy glory. + +2:17. For the iniquity of Libanus shall cover thee, and the ravaging of +beasts shall terrify them because of the blood of men, and the iniquity +of the land, and of the city, and of all that dwell therein. + +The iniquity of Libanus... That is, the iniquity committed by the +Chaldeans against the temple of God, signified here by the name of +Libanus. + +2:18. What doth the graven thing avail, because the maker thereof hath +graven it, a molten, and a false image? because the forger thereof hath +trusted in a thing of his own forging, to make dumb idols. + +2:19. Woe to him that saith to wood: Awake: to the dumb stone: Arise: +can it teach? Behold, it is laid over with gold, and silver, and there +is no spirit in the bowels thereof. + +2:20. But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence +before him. + +Habacuc Chapter 3 + +3:1. A PRAYER OF HABACUC THE PROPHET FOR IGNORANCES. + +For ignorances... That is, for the sins of his people. In the Hebrew, it +is Sigionoth: which some take to signify a musical instrument, or tune; +with which this sublime prayer and canticle was to be sung. + +3:2. O Lord, I have heard thy hearing, and was afraid. O Lord, thy +work, in the midst of the years bring it to life: In the midst of the +years thou shalt make it known: when thou art angry, thou wilt remember +mercy. + +Thy hearing, etc... That is, thy oracles, the great and wonderful things +thou hast revealed to me; and I was struck with a reverential fear and +awe.-Ibid. Thy work... The great work of the redemption of man, which +thou wilt bring to life and light in the midst of the years, when our +calamities and miseries shall be at their height. + +3:3. God will come from the south, and the holy one from mount Pharan: +His glory covered the heavens, and the earth is full of his praise. + +God will come from the south, etc... God himself will come to give us +his law, and to conduct us into the true land of promise: as heretofore +he came from the South (in the Hebrew Theman) and from mount Pharan to +give his law to his people in the desert. See Deut. 33.2. + +3:4. His brightness shall be as the light: horns are in his hands: There +is his strength hid: + +Horns, etc... That is, strength and power, which, by a Hebrew phrase, +are called horns. Or beams of light, which come forth from his hands. Or +it may allude to the cross, in the horns of which the hands of Christ +were fastened, where his strength was hidden, by which he overcame the +world, and drove out death and the devil. + +3:5. Death shall go before his face. And the devil shall go forth +before his feet. + +Death shall go before his face, etc... Both death and the devil shall be +the executioners of his justice against his enemies: as they were +heretofore against the Egyptians and Chanaanites. + +3:6. He stood and measured the earth. He beheld, and melted the +nations: and the ancient mountains were crushed to pieces. The hills of +the world were bowed down by the journeys of his eternity. + +He beheld, etc... One look of his eye is enough to melt all the nations, +and to reduce them to nothing. For all heaven and earth disappear when +they come before his light. Apoc. 20.11. Ibid. The ancient mountains, +etc... By the mountains and hills are signified the great ones of the +world, that persecute the church, whose power was quickly crushed by the +Almighty. + +3:7. I saw the tents of Ethiopia for their iniquity, the curtains of the +land of Madian shall be troubled. + +Ethiopia... the land of the Blacks, and Madian, are here taken for the +enemies of God and his people: who shall perish for their iniquity. + +3:8. Wast thou angry, O Lord, with the rivers? or was thy wrath upon the +rivers? or thy indignation in the sea? Who will ride upon thy horses: +and thy chariots are salvation. + +With the rivers, etc... He alludes to the wonders wrought heretofore by +the Lord in favour of his people Israel, when the waters of the rivers, +viz., of Arnon and Jordan, and of the Red Sea, retired before their +face: when he came as it were with his horses and chariots to save them +when he took up his bow for their defence, in consequene of the oath he +had made to their tribes: when the mountains trembled, and the deep +stood with its waves raised up in a heap, as with hands lifted up to +heaven: when the sun and the moon stood still at his command, etc., to +comply with his anger, not against the rivers and sea, but against the +enemies of his people. How much more will he do in favour of his Son: +and against the enemies of his church? + +3:9. Thou wilt surely take up thy bow: according to the oaths which thou +hast spoken to the tribes. Thou wilt divide the rivers of the earth. + +3:10. The mountains saw thee, and were grieved: the great body of waters +passed away. The deep put forth its voice: the deep lifted up its +hands. + +3:11. The sun and the moon stood still in their habitation, in the light +of thy arrows, they shall go in the brightness of thy glittering spear. + +3:12. In thy anger thou wilt tread the earth under foot: in thy wrath +thou wilt astonish the nations. + +3:13. Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people: for salvation +with thy Christ. Thou struckest the head of the house of the wicked: +thou hast laid bare his foundation even to the neck. + +The head of the house of the wicked... Such was Pharao heretofore: such +shall Antichrist be hereafter. + +3:14. Thou hast cursed his sceptres, the head of his warriors, them that +came out as a whirlwind to scatter me. Their joy was like that of him +that devoureth the poor man in secret. + +3:15. Thou madest a way in the sea for thy horses, in the mud of many +waters. + +Thou madest a way in the sea, etc... To deliver thy people from the +Egyptian bondage: and thou shalt work the like wonders in the spiritual +way, to rescue the children of the church from their enemies. + +3:16. I have heard and my bowels were troubled: my lips trembled at the +voice. Let rottenness enter into my bones, and swarm under me. That I +may rest in the day of tribulation: that I may go up to our people that +are girded. + +I have heard, etc... Viz., the evils that are now coming upon the +Israelites for their sins; and that shall come hereafter upon all +impenitent sinners; and the foresight that I have of these miseries +makes me willing to die, that I may be at rest, before this general +tribulation comes, in which all good things shall be withdrawn from the +wicked. Ibid. That I may go up to our people, etc... That I may join the +happy company in the bosom of Abraham, that are girded, that is, +prepared for their journey, by which they shall attend their Lord, when +he shall ascend into heaven. To which high and happy place, my Jesus, +that is, my Saviour, the great conqueror of death and hell, shall one +day conduct me rejoicing and singing psalms of praise, ver. 18 and 19. + +3:17. For the fig tree shall not blossom: and there shall be no spring +in the vines. The labour of the olive tree shall fail: and the fields +shall yield no food: the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there +shall be no herd in the stalls. + +3:18. But I will rejoice in the Lord: and I will joy in God my Jesus. + +3:19. The Lord God is my strength: and he will make my feet like the +feet of harts: and he the conqueror will lead me upon my high places +singing psalms. + + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE BIBLE, DOUAY-RHEIMS, BOOK 40 *** + +*********** This file should be named 8340.txt or 8340.zip *********** + +Produced by David Widger + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
