1Which is said in the Prophets. The place which is cited is taken out of the first Chapter of Habakkuk, but because all prophecies were gathered into one volume or body, Paul saith that it is written in the prophets.

41 And yet he doth not recite word for word the words of Habakkuk, which go thus, Behold the Gentiles, and see and wonder, and be astonied: because a work shall be done in your days, which no man shall believe when it shall be told him. Paul saith, Behold ye despicers, that the Jews may know that the vengeance which was once brought upon their fathers, is common to the despicers of the word: as if he should say, God doth at this day make no less account of his word, the contempt whereof he did once punish so sharply. Therefore the Prophet his denunciation doeth appertain unto all ages: so that the despicers cannot hope, that they can escape that vengeance now, whereof others have tasted. They boasted of the Temple, they vaunted that they were the people of God, being puffed up with wicked pride they despised all threatenings. Therefore Paul putteth them in mind, of that, which God by his Prophets doth threaten to the despicers.
