The Prophet Habakkuk
- ProphetA saint called by God to speak His word and guide His people.
All prophets
Habakkuk was a prophet of Judah in the years before the Babylonian exile. His book asks God why violence and injustice seem to go unanswered. He waits for God’s answer and learns to trust Him even when fields and flocks fail. Little is known with certainty about his personal history. His prayer gives us room to bring our hardest questions to God and to keep listening.
How he died
Tradition holds that he died in his own land and was buried there.
