• In sum, in this prophet we have (for the comfort of the faithful heart, which loves God’s people because they are His, and hence is distressed by the wickedness found among them, and still more by the judgment which falls upon them) the answer of God, explaining His ways to faith, and His sure faithfulness to His promises. He knows the oppressor, but the just must live by faith. (“Habakkuk 3” by J.N. Darby)
• For its prominent topic we find the soul of the prophet himself, as representing the faithful among the Jews, brought into deep exercises, and indeed a kind of colloquy between God Himself and the prophet, so as to set out not only that which gave him trouble of heart, but also divine comfort. (“Habakkuk: Introduction” by W. Kelly)
