2–3. "How long, O Lord, shall I cry out, and you will not hear? Shall I shout to you when I am wronged, and you will not save? Why have you shown me toils and labors, to look upon misery and ungodliness?" He calls the "burden" the seizing of the mind and its passage from human things to divine revelation. If, then, he uttered the words above from the working of the Spirit, it is clear that he did not himself suffer this feeling, but lays bare the sore of those so disposed and applies the medicine. Accordingly he adds to what has been said: "Against me judgment has come about, and the judge takes." For those who judge, he says, sell justice for money and take no care to keep the laws. This is what he means by the words: "Therefore the law is scattered, and judgment is not carried through to the end; for the ungodly man oppresses the righteous; for this reason judgment will go forth perverted." He has gone through these things concerning those who transgressed the law in Jerusalem; for Israel, enslaved by the Assyrians, was already living in a foreign land. Having thus set out the words of the vexed character, he effects the healing through the divine answer.

Notes and citation

Summary: The prophet's complaint about injustice in Jerusalem voices the perplexity of others, and God's answer follows as its cure.

  • Lemma: Hab 1:2–3; Theodoret also quotes Hab 1:3b–4. "The judge takes" (LXX): takes bribes, as Theodoret explains.

5. "Look, you despisers, and observe, and marvel, and see marvels, and vanish; for I am working a work in your days which you will not believe if anyone tells it." He calls "despisers" those who transgress without fear and suffer from insensibility. He bids them pay attention to what is prophesied, be struck with amazement, and fear the threat. Yet he knows, since he knows all things clearly before they happen, that they will disbelieve what is said and, before they experience the events, will consider the words about them false. But nevertheless, being good and just, he does not allow himself to judge on foreknowledge alone; he offers the predictions even to those who disbelieve, and brings the punishment on those who do not accept the cure.

Textual problem in this passage: see the notes.

Hab 1:5 (quotation, high confidence)

Notes and citation

Summary: God warns the scornful of coming judgment even though he foreknows their unbelief, because he does not punish on foreknowledge alone.

  • Lemma: Hab 1:5 (quoted in Acts 13:41). Migne's marginal summary (on God's love for humankind and the ingratitude of the Jews, with an appeal to them to share the conversion of the Gentiles and the confession of the thief saved at the cross) and his footnotes on variant readings had leaked into the middle of the comment; they are removed.

7. "He is fearsome and conspicuous; his judgment will be from himself, and his burden will go forth from himself." He is notable, and able to strike terror by his fame alone. He judges not by following the laws of others, but makes a law of whatever he pleases. Symmachus put this more clearly: "He will judge for himself, and his own decree …" (8) "And his horses will leap beyond leopards, and they are swifter than the wolves of Arabia; and his horsemen will ride out and rush from afar, and will fly like an eagle eager to eat." Through all these he signified in advance their strength, their courage, and their speed. For such among birds is the eagle, to which he likened the horsemen; and among beasts the leopards and the wolves of Arabia, to which he compared the swiftness of the horses.

9. "An end will come upon the ungodly, those who stand against their faces directly." These will bring complete destruction on the impious, even when they try to make war on them and draw up against them. Symmachus put this too more clearly: "All will come for gain; the look of their face is a burning wind." For just as he showed figuratively the speed of the horses and horsemen, so he likened the ferocity of their faces to a burning wind. For as that wind scorches the bare parts of the body, so the very sight of the Chaldeans is enough to quench the bloom of those who see them. "And he will gather captives like sand. (10) And he will make sport among kings, and tyrants are his playthings; and he will mock at every stronghold, and will cast up a mound and take it." For in sport rather than in earnest he will overthrow both lawful kingdoms and lawless tyrannies, and, using mounds and siege engines, … tear up every stronghold from its foundations. But the good Master, seeing this madness of his, will have pity on those who have fallen into these calamities.

Hab 1:9 (quotation, high confidence) · Hab 1:10 (quotation, high confidence)

Notes and citation

Summary: The Chaldeans will destroy the ungodly and overthrow kings and strongholds as if in sport, but God will have pity on their victims.

11. "Then," he says, "he will change his spirit, and will pass through, and will make propitiation." For changing his wrath into pity he will be merciful and quench what is grievous. Therefore the prophet, greatly astonished at the divine love for humankind, cried out: "This is the strength of my God." For to you alone, O Master, belongs the power both to punish as you will and to change the punishment into mercy.

Summary: Theodoret reads the verse of God turning his wrath into mercy, which the prophet hails as God's strength.

12. "Are you not from the beginning, O Lord, my holy God, and we shall not die?" For having known you from of old as Master and God, higher than all that exists, we obtain the salvation that comes from you. "O Lord, you have appointed him for judgment, and he has formed me to reprove his discipline." For this, he says, you brought me into being from the beginning: that I should both reprove those who sin and foretell the punishments brought upon them.

Hab 1:12 (quotation, high confidence)

13–14. "Your eye is pure so as not to see evil, and you cannot look upon toils. [Why do you look upon despisers? Will you be] silent while the ungodly swallows up the righteous? And will you make human beings like the fish of the sea, and like creeping things that have no leader?" He set down the perplexity at the beginning on account of those who were transgressing in Jerusalem; but having foretold the punishment to be brought on them through the Chaldeans, and knowing that many would raise the question about this too, why he had handed over those who had sinned to the most wicked, who sinned more greatly, he has set down what is now said, not as himself prying into divine providence (for how could he, when he said he had been formed to reprove others?), but describing the reasonings of those who ask such things. And he says: That you abhor all wickedness I know, for you are the fountain of righteousness; but I wish to learn why you let the boastful and those who suffer from insensibility prosper, and overlook those who are not such being wronged by the impious. For here he has called "righteous" not one righteous in all things, but, by comparison, one more righteous than the wrongdoer. So too Aquila and Symmachus: "… the ungodly … one more righteous than himself." And when these things happen in this way, the nature of human beings will differ in nothing from the irrational creatures that live in the waters, which have neither lawgivers nor judges, but the weaker lie as food for the stronger. For like these, this man too uses his power wickedly. He says

Notes and citation

Summary: The prophet voices the question why God lets the Chaldeans, worse than Judah, devour those more righteous than themselves, as if people were fish without a ruler.

15–17. "He drew up the end with a hook, and dragged it in his casting net, and gathered it in his dragnets. Therefore he will rejoice, and his heart will be glad. Therefore he will sacrifice to his dragnet and burn incense to his casting net, because by them he has fattened his portion, and his foods are choice." For he is invested with such power as to hunt whole nations as with a dragnet and a hook, and to revel in the catch. Falling from there into the passion of arrogance, he thinks his own power the only cause of what happens, and orders divine honors to be offered to it. The divine Daniel taught us this more clearly, saying that he made a golden image and forced the multitude of his subjects, and the rulers besides the ruled, to worship it. And the divine Isaiah, lamenting his arrogance and his punishment together and making his thoughts plain, says: "I will go up upon the clouds; above the stars of heaven I will set my throne; I will seize the world like a nest, and take it up like abandoned eggs." To this he at once adds: "Beneath you they will spread rot, and the worm will be your covering." And the blessed Habakkuk the prophet says: "He will sacrifice to his dragnet and burn incense to his casting net, because by them he has fattened his portion, and his foods are choice. (17) Therefore he will cast his casting net, and will continually kill nations, and will not spare." For being carried along by favorable winds, easily netting whom he wishes, and having had as yet no experience of any misfortune, he will attack the other nations as well and will not cease
