Habakkuk2:8
8. the remnant of the people--Those remaining of the peoples spoiled by thee, though but a remnant, will suffice to inflict vengeance on thee.
the violence of the land ... city--that is, on account of thy violent oppression of the lands and cities of the earth [Grotius] (compare Ha 2:5, 6, 12). The same phrase occurs in Ha 2:17, where the "land" and "city" are Judea and Jerusalem.
