Who is…
Habakkuk

Meaning: embrace

He is the 8th of the 12 minor prophets and was a contemporary with the prophets Jeremiah and Zephaniah.

He was probably a member of the Levitical choir. We have no reliable information about his personal history.

His 3 chapter book of prophecy begins,

“The oracle which Habakkuk the prophet beheld.
How long, O Yahweh, will I call for help,
And You will not hear?
I cry out to You, ‘Violence!’
Yet You do not save. —Habakkuk 1:1-2 LSB

And he ends with these words…

Yet I will exult in Yahweh;
I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.
Yahweh, the Lord, is my strength,
And He has set my feet like hinds’ feet
And makes me tread on my high places.

For the choir director, on my stringed instruments. —Habakkuk 3:18-19 LSB
