Reading for February 7th

Read Habakkuk 1.12-2.1. In 1.12-2.1: Habakkuk's second complaint: Chaldean corruption. In his second complaint -probably composed after the Babylonian invaded Judah in 597, replaced its king, deported its leading citizens, and collected tribute (2 Kings 24). Habakkuk claims that the very instruments of God's judgment (v. 12), the Babylonians, are themselves wicked ((v. 13). In verse16: When the Babylonian enemy sacrifices to his net, he is worshipping hiss own military armaments. In 1.17-21: Habakkuk wonders whether the Babylonians' injustices will go unpunished (1.17) or whether God respond (2.1). Comments or Questions..
