ISB ~ Acts 13 v41

Behold, you scoffers:The sermon concludes with I a warning from the Greek version of Hab 1:5.

• God is responding to Habakkuk’s complaint that wickedness flourishes unchecked in Israel. He assures the prophet that judgment is marching toward Israel with the Babylonian army to devastate the land and haul its inhabitants into exile. Paul cautions that a similar catastrophe is in store for unbelievers who reject the gospel.
