Hab'akkuk, The Prophecy of. The Prophecy of Habakkuk consists of three chapters, in the first of which, he foreshadows the invasion of Judea by the Chaldeans, and in the second, he foretells the doom of the Chaldeans. The whole concludes with the magnificent psalm in Habakkuk 3, a composition unrivalled for boldness of conception, sublimity of thought and majesty of diction.
