西元前六世纪或西元前七世纪

　　《旧约》中十二小先知之一，传统上认为是〈哈巴谷书〉的作者。（他的预言书在犹太教正典中是较大的“十二先知书”的一部分。）他可能是圣殿乐师暨先知。他揭发了犹大的罪，认为他们的敌人加尔底亚人（巴比伦尼亚人）是神派来惩罚他们的，但最后正义终将胜利。

　　One of the 12 Minor Prophets of the Old Testament， traditional author of the Book of Habakkuk. （His prophecy is part of a larger book， The Twelve， in the Jewish canon.） He was perhaps a Temple musician as well as a prophet. He denounced the sins of Judah， identifying their enemies the Chaldeans （Babylonians） as an instrument of God's punishment， but also predicted the final triumph of righteousness.
