 This is what drew out the prophet’s heart-that the people of God, let their faults be what they might, contained whatever was righteous at that time on the earth, and that these Chaldeans, raised up to humble the Jews, were as merciless in their dealings with them as they were forgetful and contemptuous toward God Himself. (Habakkuk 1 by W. Kelly)
 The prophet bases his conclusions, not simply on the wickedness of the enemy, but, on the holiness of God. (The Card on the Pavement)
