YOUR EYES ARE TOO PURE / HABAKKUK 1:13

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Habakkuk 1:13

 Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?

YOUR EYES ARE TOO PURE / HABAKKUK 1:13

This verse does not mean that God overlooks evil; after all, He is omniscient (“all-knowing”) and sees everything. The fact that He realizes everything that is going on, however, does not mean that God approves of evil. What confused Habakkuk was this: God’s use of the wicked Babylonians made it seem like He was tolerating their sin while punishing Judah; and even though Judah was behaving wickedly, it was still not as corrupt as Babylon.

ARE YOU NOT FROM EVERLASTING? / Habakkuk 1:12

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Habakkuk 1:12

Art thou not from everlasting, O Lord my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O Lord, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.

ARE YOU NOT FROM EVERLASTING? / Habakkuk 1:12

Habakkuk was appalled that God would use such a cruel and defiant nation to attack Judah. Babylon was so arrogant about its military might that it was almost like a god to them (Habakkuk 1:11). Yet the prophet was confident that God would not allow them to totally destroy his own people. Such a destructive plan would work against God’s purpose to use Israel to reveal His plan of salvation to the entire human race.

I AM GOING TO DO SOMETHING / HABAKKUK 1:5-11

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Habakkuk 1:5-11

I AM GOING TO DO SOMETHING / HABAKKUK 1:5-11

God answered Habakkuk by telling him He already had plans to punish Judah for its sins. He would use the completely unmerciful and ungodly Babylonians to carry out judgment on His people. (The Babylonians had gained their independence from Assyria in 626 B.C. and destroyed Assyrian power completely in 612 – 605 B.C. The speed with which they conquered other nations was legendary [verse 8], and they sent into exile the people that they conquered [Habakkuk 1:9], just like the Assyrians before them.) The thought that God would possibly use such wicked and ungodly people to punish Judah was shocking to the prophet and unbelievable to God’s people.

HABAKKUK / HABAKKUK 1:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Habakkuk 1:1

The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.

HABAKKUK / HABAKKUK 1:1

Habakkuk prophesied to the kingdom of Judah between the time when the Babylonians defeated the Assyrians at Nineveh (612 B.C.). By that time, Babylon had become the leading world power. 

  1. The book is unique in that it is not a prophecy addressed directly to God’s people in Israel or Judah, but rather a dialogue, or conversation, between the prophet and God. Habakkuk asked the question: “Why doesn’t God do something about the evil that has completely filled Judah?” God responded by revealing that He was sending the Babylonians to punish Judah. 
  2. This answer only confused the prophet more. So, he asked, “Why would God allow a nation even more wicked and cruel than Judah to deliver judgment on His people? By the end of the conversation, Habakkuk learned to trust God more and live by faith in God’s plans, no matter what the circumstances might be.
