Did you know?
Habakkuk is not mentioned by name outside this book (Habakkuk). But several times the New Testament quotes the phrase from Habakkuk that would later launch the Protestant Reformation: "The just shall live by his faith" (Habakkuk 2:4, King James Version; compare this with Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38).
