7 Ella è fiera, e spaventevole; la sua ragione, e la sua altezza procede da lei stessa.

Abacuc 1:7 Meaning and Commentary

Habakkuk 1:7

They [are] terrible and dreadful
For the fierceness of their countenances; the number and valour of their troops; the splendour of their armour; the victories they had obtained, and the cruelty they had exercised; the fame of all which spread terror wherever they came:

their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves;
they will not be directed and governed by any laws of God and man, but by their own; they will do according to their will and pleasure, and none will be able to gainsay and resist them; they will hear no reason or argument; their decrees and determinations they make of themselves shall be put into execution, and there will be no opposing their tyrannical measures; they will usurp a power, and take upon them an authority over others of themselves, which all must submit unto; no mercy and pity: no goodness and humanity, are to be expected from such lawless and imperious enemies.

Abacuc 1:7 In-Context

5 Vedete fra le genti, e riguardate, e maravigliatevi, e siate stupefatti; perciocchè io fo un’opera a’ dì vostri, la quale voi non crederete, quando sarà raccontata.
6 Perciocchè ecco, io fo muovere i Caldei, quell’aspra e furiosa nazione, che cammina per tutta la larghezza della terra, per impodestarsi di stanze che non son sue.
7 Ella è fiera, e spaventevole; la sua ragione, e la sua altezza procede da lei stessa.
8 E i suoi cavalli saran più leggieri che pardi, e più rapaci che lupi in sul vespro; e i suoi cavalieri si spanderanno; e, venendo di lontano, voleranno, a guisa d’aquila che si affretta al pasto.
9 Ella verrà tutta per rapire; lo scontro delle lor facce sarà come un vento orientale; ed ella accoglierà prigioni a guisa di rena.
