Habakkuk 1:1

burden See note 1, (See Scofield “Isaiah 13:1”).

Habakkuk 1:5

for I will work Habakkuk 1:5 anticipates the dispersion “among the nations” (cf) Deuteronomy 28:64-67. While Israel as a nation is thus dispersed, Jehovah will “work a work” which Israel “will not believe.” Acts 13:37-41, interprets this prediction of the redemptive work of Christ. It is significant that Paul quotes this to Jews of the dispersion in the synagogue at Antioch.
