Charles Ellicott Commentary Habakkuk 3:16

"I heard, and my body trembled, My lips quivered at the voice; Rottenness entereth into my bones, and I tremble in my place; Because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, For the coming up of the people that invadeth us." — Habakkuk 3:16 (ASV)

That I might rest ...—Better, that I should be resting quiet in the day of trouble, when he comes up against the people who is to oppress them.
