Habakkuk 2:14 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

The earth; the land of Chaldea, of the Medes and Persians, and their confederates, the lands oppressed by the Chaldeans, but Judea more particularly. Shall be filled; every eye shall see, or ear hear, or tongue speak what they know. With the knowledge, sight and sense, of the glory, just and glorious proceedings of God against Babylon; for when God shall appear to execute his just judgments upon his own and his church's enemies, he will appear glorious indeed. The Lord; the God of Israel, their Holy One, as Habakkuk 1:12. As the waters cover the sea: it is a proverbial speech, expressing the general notice and deep sense all should have of God's justice, truth, power, and zeal against mighty oppressors, such as Babylon was full of.
