Habakkuk 3:12 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger. Thou didst march through the land - This refers to the conquest of Canaan. God is represented as going at the head of his people as general-in-chief; and leading them on from conquest to conquest - which was the fact.

Thou didst thresh the heathen in anger - Thou didst tread them down, as the oxen do the sheaves on the threshing-floor.

Habakkuk 3:12
