Read Habakkuk in the Bible http://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=Habakkuk&qs_version=NIV
Habakkuk uses a type of oracle called a "woe oracle" Woe oracles contain, either explicitly or implicitly, three elements that uniquely characterize this form:
(1) an announcement of distress (the word “Woe,” for example),
(2) the reason for the distress, and
(3) a prediction of doom.
Read Habakkuk 2:6-8 as an example of a woe oracle spoken against Babylon. The oracle announces “woe” in verse 6. The reason is also given in verse 6, where Babylon is personified as a thief and extortionist. Disaster is predicted in verses 7-8, when all those Babylon has oppressed will one day rise up against it. This form is allegorical, though not all woes are (other examples are Micah 2:1-5; Zeph. 2:5-7) Taken from https://bible.org/seriespage/understanding-writing-prophets
