Habakkuk 2:1-3

Contemporary English Version

2 While standing guard
    on the watchtower,
I waited for the Lord's answer,
before explaining the reason
    for my complaint.^[a]
2 Then the Lord told me:
“I will give you my message
    in the form of a vision.
Write it clearly enough
    to be read at a glance.
^3 (A) At the time I have decided,
    my words will come true.
You can trust what I say
    about the future.
It may take a long time,
but keep on waiting—
    it will happen!
