Habakkuk 3:16-18 ESV

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Habakkuk 3:16

When I heard - , better, “I heard and ...” The prophet sums up, resuming that same declaration with which he had begun, “I heard, I was afraid.” Only now he expresses far more strongly both his awe at God’s judgments and his hopes. He had just beheld the image of the destruction of Pharaoh, the end of the brief triumphing of the wicked and of the trials of God’s people. But awful as are all the judgments of God upon the enemies of His people, it was not this alone which was the object of his... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Habakkuk 3:17

Although - literally, For The fig tree shall not blossom - The prophet repeats his confidence in God, premising his knowledge that all human hopes should fail. I know, he says, all stay and support shall fail; he numbers from the least to the greatest, the fruits of trees, the fig, vine and olive, for sweetness, gladness, cheerfulness Psalms 104:15. whereof the well-being of the vine and fig tree furnishes the proverbial picture of peace and rest. These shall either not shoot forth, or shall at... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Habakkuk 3:18

Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. - The words are very impressive, as they stand in the Hebrew. “For,” he says, “the fig tree shall not blossom, and there is no fruit in the vines, the labor of the olive hath failed;” (the prophet does not look on, only to these things, but in his mind stands in the midst of them, they are done, and he amid them, feeling their effects) “and the field hath yielded no food; the flock hath been cut off from the fold, and there... read more

Habakkuk 3:16. When I heard, my belly trembled The prophet, having recounted, for the present encouragement of the faithful, the wonderful works which God had formerly wrought for his people, here returns again to his first subject, namely, the revelation which he had received from God, concerning the calamities which should be brought on the Jewish people by the Chaldeans. My belly trembled, my lips quivered, &c. A consternation and shaking seized me, and I could not speak for grief... read more

Habakkuk 3:17-18. Although the fig-tree shall not blossom Though all outward means of support should fail, yet will I still have a firm confidence in the power, goodness, and faithfulness of God, that he will preserve me, and supply me with all things necessary; and therefore, amidst the most threatening appearances of affairs, I shall still preserve inward peace and serenity of mind, as trusting in him in whom is everlasting strength, Isaiah 26:3-4. The state of the land during the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Habakkuk 3:1-19

3:1-19 HABAKKUK TRUSTS IN GOD’S JUDGMENTThe psalm of Chapter 3 has no direct connection with Judah and the Babylonians. Nevertheless, it is relevant to what Habakkuk has just written, for it describes the appearance of God in his work of judging the nations and saving his people. The psalm is introduced by what appears to be the name of the tune to which it was sung (3:1).Habakkuk recalls the mighty works that God has done for his people in the past, and he prays that God will act on their... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Habakkuk 3:16

"I heard, and my body trembled, My lips quivered at thy voice; Rottenness entereth into my bones, and I tremble in my place; Because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, For the coming up of the people that invadeth us."The great thrust of this verse (Habakkuk 3:16a) is that God answered Habakkuk and revealed to him that his plea for the deliverance of Israel could not be granted. Habakkuk's trembling body, quivering lips, and debilitated bones show what a shocking and terrible impact... read more
