Habakkuk 2

YHWH responds to Habakkuk's complaint by instructing him to write down a vision of divine judgment, assuring him that justice will come though it may be delayed.[2] God pronounces five woes against the proud, greedy, violent, and idolatrous, declaring that those who exploit others through unjust gain and bloodshed will face divine retribution, while the earth will ultimately be filled with the knowledge of YHWH's glory.[1][2]
