Dishonest Gain by Oppression
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Habakkuk 2:5-8  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) First Woe: Dishonest gain by oppression. This breaks the eighth commandment particularly; the Chaldeans were stealing. They were oppressing people and plundering what was theirs as they advanced through the conquered nations. Notice that verse 5 begins with the cause of this sin: drunkenness (a figure of both addiction and muddled thinking) and pride, resulting in covetousness. Richard T. Ritenbaugh Habakkuk
