Habakkuk's warning in Pisidian Antioch

After proclaiming forgiveness and justification through Jesus, Paul quotes Habakkuk's warning about a work of God that scoffers would refuse to believe.

Habakkuk 1:5

“Look at the nations and observe— be utterly astounded! For I am doing a work in your days that you would never believe even if someone told you.

Habakkuk 1:5 warns Judah to look at the nations and be astounded at God's work; Acts 13:40-41 quotes the warning as Paul urges his hearers not to reject the message he has proclaimed.
