In this study Mr. Smith covers the book of Habakkuk. this three chapter book has two chapters of prophecy then ends in chapter three with a psalm. In the prophetic part of the book Habakkuk asks God why he is not correcting Judah for their sins. When God tells him that He is going to do so using Babylon, Habakkuk asks how God can correct them with a nation more sinful than the Jews. God assures him that just as Assyria was punished after punishing Israel, Babylon also would be punished for their sins.
