The Book of Habakkuk

The book of Habakkuk is almost surely written as the campaign that will lead to the battle of carchemists is unfolding. As all the big forces are converging on that decisive battle, it's already convinced that it's going to be Babylon who emerges from all of this. The language that is heaped by the prophet Isaiah or God through the prophet Isaiah in this passage is probably the kindest language that gets poured out on any Gentile character in the Old Testament.
