First Complaint

Israel has become violent, unjust and corrupt, and Habakkuk asks God to intervene. God replies that He will use a terrifying empire to judge Israel.

Second Complaint

Habakkuk hates that God would use an incredibly violent and corrupt nation like Babylon to judge Israel. God replies that all nations will be accountable.

Five Woes

Habakkuk lists five woes perpetrated by Babylon. However, most nations eventually perform these same violent, unjust and idolatrous injustices because of the sinful human condition.

God Will Act

Habakkuk pleads for God to act and end corrupt nations. God's powerful appearance illustrates that when He eventually confronts human evil, everyone will pay attention.

Future Exodus

The book of Habakkuk ends by comparing the ancient exodus and a future exodus when God defeats evil, brings justice and rescues all the oppressed.
