This book was probably written in the last years of Jeremiah, just before the destruction of Jerusalem. The question that the prophet Habakkuk had to have at such a time was the question of why God is silent about evil.
Habakkuk the Prophet said that great iniquity was committed against Judah, which is said to be the people of God.

In fact, this was exactly what the prophet Habakkuk had in mind. God is alive
He thought that Judah, whom God had chosen, would never perish (12
