Habakkuk,[a] or Habacuc,[1] who was active around 612 BCE, was a prophet whose oracles and prayer are recorded in the Book of Habakkuk, the eighth of the collected twelve minor prophets in the Hebrew Bible.[2] He is revered by Jews, Christians, and Muslims.
Almost all information about Habakkuk is drawn from the book of the Bible bearing his name,[3] with no biographical details provided other than his title, "the prophet".[4] Outside the Bible, he is mentioned over the centuries in the forms of Christian and Rabbinic tradition.[5][6]
