Habakkuk 2:2-4
New Catholic Bible
2 Then the Lord answered me and said:
Write down the vision,
inscribe it clearly on tablets
so that it can be read easily.
3 For the vision is for the appointed time;
it will speak of the end,
and it will not lie.
If it delays in coming, wait for it,
for it will surely come before too long.
4 The proud man’s heart is not upright,
but the righteous man will live
because of his faith.[a]
Footnotes
- Habakkuk 2:4 St. Paul takes this promise and gives it a new application: it is faith that “justifies,” that is, saves human beings from sin and gives them the life of God (Gal 3:11; Rom 1:17).
