Habakkuk, a book of prophecy, is concerned with the problem of unpunished evil in the world. It is revealed to Habakkuk that the Chaldean armies are to be God’s means of punishing the wicked and that evil will destroy itself. The book concludes with a poem of thanksgiving and great faith.

Habakkuk 1

1:6 For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs.
