And Hashem answered me, and said, Write the chazon, and make it plain upon tablets, so that a herald may run with it.

For the chazon is yet for a mo’ed (an appointed time); it speaks of HaKetz (the End), and does not lie; though it tarry, wait for him [Moshiach— see Sanhedrin 97b]; because he will surely come, and will not tarry.

    and will not prove false.
Though it linger, wait(D) for it;
    it[b] will certainly come
    and will not delay.(E)

    his desires are not upright—
    but the righteous person(F) will live by his faithfulness[c](G)
