HABAKKUK 2:20 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 3

“But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.”

But the LORD is in his holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before him—the contrasting vision of God's authentic reality and presence establishes the resolution to all preceding woes. God's dwelling in the holy temple, God's real and present holiness, provides the ground for confident faith. The command for universal silence before God's presence invokes the proper human response to divine majesty: reverent attention rather than clamorous complaint. This verse begins transitioning toward the prayer of chapter 3.
