Habakkuk 2:13 meaning and explanation
Is it not indeed from the LORD of Hosts that the labor of the people only feeds the fire, and the nations weary themselves in vain?
Habakkuk 2:13, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview

The LORD of Hosts, the commander of heaven's armies, is the one who frustrates human striving: the peoples' toil only feeds the fire, and the nations exhaust themselves for nothing.
