Scofield Reference Bible Notes
Habakkuk 1

Hab 1:1-4—Part I. Prayer of Habakkuk: evil in dispersed Israel. (Cf. Deu 28:64-67.)

Hab 1:1 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.

burden

Scofield Isaiah 13:1, note.


Hab 1:5-11—Part II. Voice of Jehovah to Israel "among the nations."

Hab 1:5 Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.

heathen

i.e. nations.

I will work a work in your days

Act 13:41.

Hab 1:5 anticipates the dispersion "among the nations" (cf. Deu 28:64-67). While Israel as a nation is thus dispersed, Jehovah will "work a work" which Israel "will not believe." Act 13:37-41 interprets this prediction of the redemptive work of Christ. It is significant that Paul quotes this to Jews of the dispersion in the synagogue at Antioch.


Hab 1:12-17—Part III. Habakkuk's testimony to Jehovah (extends to Hab 2:1).
