Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
The burden of Habakkuk is like that of Jeremiah. He sees the wickedness of his nation, Judah, and is burdened by it. He is praying for the Lord to intervene and turn the people back to God. He longs for revival, repentance, and a return to holiness.
But it seems like the answer is so long in coming.
And when it does, it is not what he nor anyone else, would have believed. “I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.” The Chaldeans will come and possess the land.
Jeremiah will preach faithfully that this is the judgment of God, and Judah should surrender to it.
But they will not believe, though it be told them.
The hearts of men have changed but little. It is so that today, just as then, the same people praying for God to do a work will not believe the work that God will do.
May God grant that we have eyes to see and faith to believe when we are told what God is doing.
