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

1:9 They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
