Habakkuk 3:15

"You pierced the heads of his warriors with their own spears. They came as a whirlwind to scatter me, gloating as if to devour the wretched in secret."

Key Reflection

In these verses, Habakkuk vividly describes how the enemy's own weapons turned against them, piercing their leaders and scattering their forces in a chaotic and destructive whirlwind. This imagery underscores God’s sovereignty over even the mightiest of adversaries, showing that His justice ultimately prevails.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Thou didst walk through the sea with Thine horses -God Himself is pictured as leading them on the way, Himself at the head of their multitude, having, as Asaph said of old “His path in the sea.” So IsaiahIsaiah 63:13. “who leddest them in the depths;” and ZechariahZechariah 10:11. “And he shall pass through the sea.” God was literally there; forActs 17:28. “in Him we live and move and have our being.” He who “is wholly everywhere but the whole of Him nowhere” manifested His Presence there. Such anthropomorphisms have a truth, which people’s favorite abstractions have not. Through the heap -oof great waters as of oldExodus 15:8;Psalms 78:13.
