Holy Scripture

Habakkuk 3:11

A church father on this verse
“(Verse 11 onwards) The mountains saw you and trembled; the raging waters passed by. The abyss gave forth its voice; the heights lifted their hands. The sun and moon stood still in their dwelling place; they will go in the light of your arrows, in the radiance of your glittering spear. In your fury, you trample the ear…”
Jerome, 5th c. — Commentary on Habakkuk

In context

9Surely thou didst bend thy bow At scepters, saith the Lord. Pause. The land of rivers shall be torn asunder.

10The nations shall see thee and be in pain, As thou dost divide the moving waters: The deep uttered her voice, And raised her form on high.

— Habakkuk 3:11 —

12Thou wilt bring low the land with threatening, And in wrath thou wilt break down the nations.

13Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, To save thine anointed: Thou shalt bring death on the heads of transgressors; Thou hast brought bands upon their neck. Pause.
