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 2

2:6 Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!
