Habakkuk:1:1

The burden which Habakkuk the prophet saw . (
note :)
The Argument -
The Prophet complains to God ,
considering the great felicity of the wicked ,
and the miserable oppression of the godly ,
who endure all types of affliction and cruelty ,
and yet can see no end .
Therefore he had this revelation shown to him by God ,
that the Chaldeans would come and take them away as captives ,
so that they could look for no end of their troubles as yet ,
because of their stubbornness and rebellion against the Lord .
And lest the godly should despair ,
seeing this horrible confusion ,
he comforts them by this ,
that God will punish the Chaldeans their enemies ,
when their pride and cruelty will be at height .
And for this reason he exhorts the faithful to patience by his own example ,
and shows them a form of prayer ,
with which they should comfort themselves .(:
