Habakkuk 2:2-4
English Standard Version Anglicised
The Righteous Shall Live by His Faith
2 And the Lord answered me:
(A)“Write the vision;
make it plain on tablets,
so he may run who reads it.
3 For still (B)the vision awaits its appointed time;
it hastens to the end—it will not lie.
If it seems slow, (C)wait for it;
(D)it will surely come; it will not delay.
4 “Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him,
but (E)the righteous shall live by his faith.[a]

King James Version
2 And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
