7 E’ terribile, formidabile; il suo diritto e la sua grandezza emanano da lui stesso.

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 nazioni, guardate, maravigliatevi, e siate stupefatti! Poiché io sto per fare ai vostri giorni un’opera, che voi non credereste, se ve la raccontassero.
6 Perché, ecco, io sto per suscitare i Caldei, questa nazione aspra e impetuosa, che percorre la terra quant’è larga, per impadronirsi di dimore, che non son sue.
7 E’ terribile, formidabile; il suo diritto e la sua grandezza emanano da lui stesso.
8 I suoi cavalli son più veloci de’ leopardi, più agili de’ lupi della sera; i suoi cavalieri procedon con fierezza; i suoi cavalieri vengon di lontano, volan come l’aquila che piomba sulla preda.
9 Tutta quella gente viene per darsi alla violenza, le lor facce bramose son tese in avanti, e ammassan prigionieri senza numero come la rena.
