The Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth be silent before him.

Habakkuk 2:6-20

The sins of Babylonians are: ‘Woe to him who piles up stolen goods and makes himself wealthy by extortion! How long must this go on?’

“Woe to him who builds his house by unjust gain, setting his nest on high to escape the clutches of ruin!

Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by injustice!

Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbors, pouring it from the wineskin till they are drunk, so that he can gaze on their naked bodies!

Of what value is an idol carved by a craftsman? Or an image that teaches lies? For the one who makes it trusts in his own creation; he makes idols that cannot speak. Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Come to life!’ Or to lifeless stone, ‘Wake up!’

The Lord is in his holy temple;  let all the earth be silent before him.

Why?
There are many woes to Babylonians, because of their sins. The Lords said to Hanakkuk so many sins cause their woes, how long must this go on?

More sins are they say to word, 'Come to life'. The idols can not speak. it is made by man's hands.

哈巴谷對神的質疑，為何猶大王的罪如此大，神不處理，神興起比以色列人更惡的巴勒底人來懲罰以色列人。先知質疑這樣的處理方式。

神也告訴哈巴谷，未來巴勒底人的結局。

義人因信得救，不是該人因為比較好！基督徒也沒有比別人好，只是我們先相信神！

禍1)殺人流血，他們略奪人也被略奪  2)以為自己在高處，高枕無憂 3)以人血建城、以罪孽立邑，壓搾人 4)淫亂 5）拜偶像

惟耶和華在他的聖殿中；全地的人都當在他面前肅敬靜默。代表人對神的尊敬、主權的認識！對神的作為、主權，要完全敬畏，不該質疑！肅敬是態度，靜默是完全信任神的帶領。

這些巴勒底人的惡行是以色列人的惡行，也是今天世人的情況。不把人當人對待。希望大家來服事我，喜歡成為王、掌權。

How?

I trust and believe is the living God who created this world and all living life and all of us, worship his Holy Name. All of us should be silent before Him.
