(Habakkuk 1:1)  The oracle that Habakkuk the prophet saw.
(Habakkuk 1:2)  O LORD, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not hear? Or cry to you “Violence!” and you will not save?
(Habakkuk 1:3)  Why do you make me see iniquity, and why do you idly look at wrong? Destruction and violence are before me; strife and contention arise.
(Habakkuk 1:4)  So the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous; so justice goes forth perverted.  [ESV]

I. THE PROPHET IS PERPLEXED THAT GOD DOES NOT PUNISH THE INIQUITY OF JUDAH (1:1-4)
The burden (or oracle, NKJV margin) which the prophet Habakkuk saw is probably a title for the whole book. In verses 2-4, he complained to the Lord about the terrible violence, iniquity, robbery, strife, and injustice in Judah. He asked the LORD how long it would be allowed to go unpunished. Because of this and similar questionings of God, Habakkuk has sometimes been called "the doubting Thomas of the OT."
The first eleven verses of the prophecy are a dialogue between Habakkuk and the Lord.  [Believers Bible Commentary]

(Habakkuk 1:5)  “Look among the nations, and see; wonder and be astounded. For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told.
(Habakkuk 1:6)  For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, who march through the breadth of the earth, to seize dwellings not their own.
(Habakkuk 1:7)  They are dreaded and fearsome; their justice and dignity go forth from themselves.
(Habakkuk 1:8)  Their horses are swifter than leopards, more fierce than the evening wolves; their horsemen press proudly on. Their horsemen come from afar; they fly like an eagle swift to devour.
(Habakkuk 1:9)  They all come for violence, all their faces forward. They gather captives like sand.
(Habakkuk 1:10)  At kings they scoff, and at rulers they laugh. They laugh at every fortress, for they pile up earth and take it.
(Habakkuk 1:11)  Then they sweep by like the wind and go on, guilty men, whose own might is their god!”  [ESV]

II. THE LORD REPLIES THAT HE WILL USE THE BABYLONIANS TO PUNISH JUDAH (1:5-11)
God's answer is given in verses 5-11. He would raise up the Chaldean army to punish Judah. The enemy would be hasty, bitter, avaricious, violent, dreadful, and proud. The Babylonians were noted for their cavalry, swift in conquest and fiercer than evening wolves. They scoffed at captive kings and princes, and their might was their god. Feinberg comments:
The success of the Chaldean will be multiplied; he will carry all before him, as the wind sweeps over vast stretches of land. In doing so, the Chaldean conqueror heaps up guilt before God because of his ungodly ambitions and his subjugation of many helpless peoples.  [Believers Bible Commentary]

As the verses lie, their argument is this. In Habakkuk 1:2-4 Habakkuk asks the Lord how long the wicked are to oppress the righteous, to the paralyzing of the Torah, or revelation of His Law, and the making futile of judgment. For answer the Lord tells him, Habakkuk 1:5-11, to look round among the heathen: He is about to raise up the Chaldees to do His work, a people swift, self-reliant, irresistible.  [Expositors Bible Commentary]

(Daniel 3:1)  King Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits and its breadth six cubits. He set it up on the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
(Daniel 3:2)  Then King Nebuchadnezzar sent to gather the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the justices, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces to come to the dedication of the image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
(Daniel 3:3)  Then the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the justices, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces gathered for the dedication of the image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up. And they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
(Daniel 3:4)  And the herald proclaimed aloud, “You are commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages,
(Daniel 3:5)  that when you hear the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, you are to fall down and worship the golden image that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.
(Daniel 3:6)  And whoever does not fall down and worship shall immediately be cast into a burning fiery furnace.”
(Daniel 3:7)  Therefore, as soon as all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, all the peoples, nations, and languages fell down and worshiped the golden image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.  [ESV]

(Daniel 3:8)  Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans came forward and maliciously accused the Jews.
(Daniel 3:9)  They declared to King Nebuchadnezzar, “O king, live forever!
(Daniel 3:10)  You, O king, have made a decree, that every man who hears the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image.
(Daniel 3:11)  And whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast into a burning fiery furnace.
(Daniel 3:12)  There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, O king, pay no attention to you; they do not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.”
(Daniel 3:13)  Then Nebuchadnezzar in furious rage commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and  Abednego be brought. So they brought these men before the king.
(Daniel 3:14)  Nebuchadnezzar answered and said to them, “Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the golden image that I have set up?
(Daniel 3:15)  Now if you are ready when you hear the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, to fall down and worship the image that I have made, well and good. But if you do not worship, you shall immediately be cast into a burning fiery furnace. And who is the god who will deliver you out of my hands?”
(Daniel 3:16)  Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
(Daniel 3:17)  If this be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.
(Daniel 3:18)  But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.”
(Daniel 3:19)  Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with fury, and the expression of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He ordered the furnace heated seven times more than it was usually heated.
(Daniel 3:20)  And he ordered some of the mighty men of his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
(Daniel 3:21)  Then these men were bound in their cloaks, their tunics, their hats, and their other garments, and they were thrown into the burning fiery furnace.
(Daniel 3:22)  Because the king's order was urgent and the furnace overheated, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
(Daniel 3:23)  And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell bound into the burning fiery furnace.
(Daniel 3:24)  Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished and rose up in haste. He declared to his counselors, “Did we not cast three men bound into the fire?” They answered and said to the king, “True, O king.”
(Daniel 3:25)  He answered and said, “But I see four men unbound, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.”
(Daniel 3:26)  Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the burning fiery furnace; he declared, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out, and come  here!” Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out from the fire.
(Daniel 3:27)  And the satraps, the prefects, the governors, and the king's counselors gathered together and saw that the fire had not had any power over the bodies of those men. The hair of their heads was not singed, their cloaks were not harmed, and no smell of fire had come upon them.
(Daniel 3:28)  Nebuchadnezzar answered and said, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his angel and delivered his servants, who trusted in him, and set aside the king's command, and yielded up their bodies rather than serve and worship any god except their own God.
(Daniel 3:29)  Therefore I make a decree: Any people, nation, or language that speaks anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego shall be torn limb from limb, and their houses laid in ruins, for there is no other god who is able to rescue in this way.”
(Daniel 3:30)  Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.  [ESV]

(Isaiah 28:5)  In that day the LORD of hosts will be a crown of glory, and a diadem of beauty, to the remnant of his people,
(Isaiah 28:6)  and a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.  [ESV]

 

[David1701]

1 Tim. 3:16 (World English Bible)

 16 Without controversy, the mystery of godliness is great:
God was revealed in the flesh,
justified in the spirit,
seen by angels,
preached among the nations,
believed on in the world,
and received up in glory.
