Kabbalah zu Chabakkuk 3:2

Rabbi Simeon rejoiced and said: “O Lord, I have heard your report and am afraid (Hab. 3:2). There it is proper to be fearful. We [, however,] depend upon love. Thus it is written: You will love your fellow as yourself (Lev. 19:18). You will love the Lord your God (Deut. 6:5, 11:1). And I have loved you, says the Lord (Mal. 1:2).”

Thus [the passage] states: “It should rather state, a psalm,” as [Habakkuk] said, O Lord, [I am awed by] Your works. Renew them in these years (Hab. 3:2). For this reason, [the passage] explained, “Now everyone who removes himself from the affairs of the world …”

Rabbi Shimon felt fear coming over him and wept. Then he said, "Hashem, I have heard a report of You, and I am afraid" (Habakuk 3:2). Habakuk had said this phrase when he saw his death and his resurrection by Elisha approaching. Why was he called Habakuk? Because, as it is written, "About this time in the coming year you shall embrace (Heb. חוֹבֶקֶת) a son" (II Kings 4:16). So Habakkuk was the son of the Shunammite. And there were two embraces: one from his mother and one from Elisha, as it is written, "and he put his mouth upon his mouth" (Ibid. 34).
