Berean Standard Bible
““Look at the nations and observe— be utterly astounded! For I am doing a work in your days that you would never believe even if someone told you.”
Habakkuk prophesied in Judah in the late seventh century BC, as Babylon was rising to power. Unlike most prophets, he speaks to God on behalf of the people, and the book opens with his complaint that God seems to tolerate violence and injustice in Judah.
