Clarke's Commentary on the BibleO Lord, how long shall I cry - The prophet feels himself strongly excited against the vices which he beheld; and which, it appears from this verse, he had often declaimed against, but in vain; the people continued in their vices, and God in his longsuffering. Habakkuk begins his prophecy under a similar feeling, and nearly in similar words, as Juvenal did his Satires: - Semper ego auditor tantum? Nunquamne reponam? Vexatus toties rauci Theseide Codri? Sat. 1:1. "Shall I always be a hearer only? Shall I never reply? So often vexed?" Of violence - The most unlawful and outrageous acts. Treasury of Scripture Knowledge how. Psalm 13:1,2 How long will you forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long will you hide your face from me... Psalm 74:9,10 We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knows how long... Psalm 94:3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? Revelation 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true... and thou wilt not save. Psalm 22:1,2 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring... Jeremiah 14:9 Why should you be as a man astonished, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet you, O LORD, are in the middle of us... Lamentations 3:8 Also when I cry and shout, he shuts out my prayer.
