Habakkuk 2: the righteous one will live by his faith.

 In Habakkuk 2 the Lord answers the question from the prophet: "How can the Lord use a wicked nation such as Babylon to make justice?".
The answer begins with a famous verse: "the righteous one will live by his faith." in verse 4. However we read in MSG:

 
4 “Look at that man, bloated by self-importance—
    full of himself but soul-empty.
But the person in right standing before God
    through loyal and steady believing
    is fully alive, really alive.

Certainly most Babylonians are bloated by self-importance - full of themselves but soul-empty. Habakkuk, however, must live in a different way - through loyal and steady believing. Although it is not possible to understand very well what the Lord is doing, it is necessary to trust in Him.

5-6
“Note well: Money deceives.
    The arrogant rich don’t last.
They are more hungry for wealth
    than the grave is for cadavers.
Like death, they always want more,
    but the ‘more’ they get is dead bodies.
They are cemeteries filled with dead nations,
    graveyards filled with corpses.

In MSG (not in original I think we read):

5 (...)Soon the whole world will be taunting them:
6-8
“‘Who do you think you are—
    getting rich by stealing and extortion?
How long do you think
    you can get away with this?’
Indeed, how long before your victims wake up,
    stand up and make you the victim?
You’ve plundered nation after nation.
    Now you’ll get a taste of your own medicine.
All the survivors are out to plunder you,
    a payback for all your murders and massacres.

Who is getting rich by wicked ways? Babylon. The Lord will do justice to Babylon. It is necessary that Habakkuk trust in Him.
