Habakkuk 1:5

In your days The Babylonians likely first arrived in Jerusalem in 605 B.C. However, the news of the rise of the Babylonians would have reached Israel shortly after their conquest of Nineveh in 612 B.C.

That you will not believe The news of the rise of the Chaldeans (or Babylonians) would have come as an absolute shock to the prophet. At the time of Habakkuk, Assyria dominated the ancient Near East. The Assyrian Empire was experiencing its golden age led by Ashurbanipal, one of the empire’s most successful kings.
