Habakkuk 2:1-3

International Children’s Bible

2 I will stand like a guard to watch.
    I will stand on the tower.
I will wait to see what the Lord will say to me.
    I will wait to learn how to answer his complaint.

“Write down what I show you.
    Write it clearly on stone tablets
    so whoever reads it can run to tell others.
³ It is not yet time for the message to come true.
    But that time is coming soon.
    The message will come true.
It may seem like a long time before it happens.
    But be patient and wait for it.
These things will happen.
    They will not be delayed.
