On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

That not they only, but all other sinners like them, should perish under a divine woe. Those that are covetous, are greedy of wealth and honours,

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

He increases that which is not his, but other people's. Note, No more of what we have is to be reckoned ours than what we came honestly by; nor will it long be ours, for wealth gotten by vanity will be diminished. Let not those that thrive in the world be too forward to bless themselves in it, for, if they do not thrive lawfully, they are under a woe.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

suddenly--the answer to the question, "How long?" (Hab 2:6). bite--often used of usury; so favoring LEE'S rendering (Hab 2:6). As the Chaldean, like a usurer, oppressed others, so other nations shall, like usurers, take pledges of, that is, spoil, him.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

"There shall be those that will bite thee and vex thee; those from whom thou didst not fear any danger, that seemed asleep, shall rise up and awake to be a plague to thee. They shall rise up suddenly when thou are most secure, and least prepared to receive the shock and ward off the blow.
