The Prophet’s Question
aAnd You will not hear?
Even cry out to You, b“Violence!”
And You will cnot save.
And cause me to see1 trouble?
For plundering and violence are before me;
There is strife, and contention arises.

Habakkuk 1:1
The burden - hammassa signifies not only the burdensome prophecy, but the prophecy or revelation itself which God presented to the mind of Habakkuk, and which he saw-clearly perceived, in the light of prophecy and then faithfully declared, as this book shows. The word signifies an oracle or revelation in general; but chiefly, one relative to future calamities.
