In a related prophecy, Habakkuk said: “I heard, and my belly began to be agitated; at the sound my lips quivered; rottenness began to enter into my bones; and in my situation I was agitated, that I should quietly wait for the day of distress, for his [God’s] coming up to the people [the menacing armies], that he may raid them. ”
Par šo notikumu Habakuks pravietoja: ” Kad es to dzirdēju, tad manas iekšas trīcēja, no tās balss drebēja manas lūpas; puveši nāk manos kaulos, es trīcu savā vietā, ka man klusu jāgaida tā bēdu diena, kad [Dievs] celsies pret tiem ļaudīm, kas tos spaidīs [pret karaspēku, kas uzbruks Dieva tautai]. ” ( Hab. 3: 16, Bībeles 1926. gada izdevums.)
