The Book of Habakkuk
Book • 1998
The Book of Habakkuk is a unique prophetic work in the Hebrew Bible, structured as a conversation between the prophet and God about the problem of evil and injustice in the world.
Unlike other prophetic books, Habakkuk does not address the people directly but instead questions God about why the wicked prosper and the righteous suffer.
God responds by revealing that He will use the Babylonians to judge Judah, but assures Habakkuk that all nations—including Babylon—will ultimately be held accountable.
The book concludes with a prayer of trust and praise, affirming that 'the righteous shall live by his faith' (2:4), a phrase later quoted in the New Testament.
Habakkuk's journey from doubt to trust offers a model for enduring faith in times of uncertainty and suffering.
