Habakkuk 3:13

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

11The sun was exalted, and the moon stood still in her course: Thy darts shall go forth at the light, At the brightness of the gleaming of thine arms.

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

— Habakkuk 3:13 —

14Thou didst cut asunder the heads of princes with amazement, They shall tremble in it; They shall burst their bridles, They shall be as a poor man devouring in secret.

15And thou dost cause thy horses to enter the sea, Disturbing much water.
