The wondrous Habakkuk became completely divine, when he received the outpouring of the Spirit. Seeing the dishonesty of the judges and their unjust judgment, he was displeased, enflamed with righteous anger, divine love, and burning thoughts,// exhibiting the rightness of Christ the Master’s justice. v. (2) Praise the Lord, all nations! Praise Him, all peoples! The honored Habakkuk, standing on divine watch, heard the ineffable mystery of Thy coming to us, O Christ. He clearly prophesied the preaching Thee that was to come, foreseeing the all-wise Apostles as horses// trampling the sea of the many nations of the Gentiles. v. (1) For His mercy is abundant towards us; and the truth of the Lord endures for ever. Rejoicing in the Lord God, thy Savior, O divinely eloquent and glorious one, thou wast filled with gladness, receiving the outpouring of heavenly radiance, spiritually illumined with deifying light. By thy prayers deliver from perils and misfortunes// those who celebrate thy most glorious memory with faith! Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen. Tone 2 (Theotokion Dogmatikon) – The shadow of the Law passed when grace came; as the Bush burned, yet was not consumed, so the Virgin gave birth, yet remained a Virgin. Instead of a pillar of flame, the Righteous Sun has risen.// Instead of Moses, Christ, the Salvation of our souls.
