• Later God used the Chaldeans in the same way, and this it was that disturbed the mind of Habakkuk, and led him to protest that, bad as Israel might be, the Chaldeans, whom God was going to use against them for their discipline, were worse. We see here what we see also in Habakkuk; that God may use an evil nation to chastise His faithless people, but only under His strict supervision and control. God was now sending him, as verse 6 says, against an hypocritical nation evidently the ten tribes and Samaria. But the Assyrian himself did not realize this, and therefore “he meaneth not so”, but intended to ravage Jerusalem as well as Samaria. (“Isaiah 10” by F.B. Hole)
