Habakkuk / Question
Question source
Habakkuk
The reason given is that the conqueror has plundered many nations, and the remnant of the peoples will plunder him. The passage links this reversal to bloodshed and violence done to lands, cities, and their inhabitants. This is stated in Habakkuk 2:8.
8Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples will plunder you, because of men`s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all who dwell in it.
