Habakkuk 2:1 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

I will stand upon my watch, &c.— I stood upon my watch, and continued upon the tower; and I looked to see what the Lord would say unto me, and what he would answer to my expostulation: [namely, that in the 13th and following verses of the preceding chapter, respecting the prosperity of the wicked, and of Nebuchadnezzar particularly:] Habakkuk 2:2. When the Lord answered me, &c. not shortly and enigmatically, as in Habakkuk 2:11 of the former chapter, but openly and fully, denouncing the punishment of Nebuchadnezzar's impiety.
