• He {Habakkuk} bows in a measure to the wisdom and righteousness of the discipline; and if not complete as yet, we shall find it has its perfect work before he closes. It is of deep interest to mark such progress in the soul, and it is always thus where there is reality. (“Habakkuk 1” by W. Kelly)
• The Chaldeans....were brought out fully as a scourge; and this is clearly set forth; but it cannot be without God’s taking them in hand in the end. All was measured. His mercy always measured the trial where His people must needs come under a chastening. (“Habakkuk 1” by W. Kelly)
• In the verses that follow (Hab. 1:12-17), we hear the prophet again speaking to the Lord; not as before, to pour out the anguish of his soul because of the low condition of the people of God, but to appeal to God because of the wickedness of those who had been allowed to chasten the people of God. (“The Card on the Pavement”)
• "We shall not die." If God deals in chastening with His people, it is that they may live in consistency with Himself: if He deals in judgment with His enemies, it is their everlasting destruction according to their own deserts. (“The Card on the Pavement”)
