Habakkuk 2:1-4

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

2 I will stand at my watchpost
    and station myself on the rampart;
I will keep watch to see what he will say to me
    and what he^[a] will answer concerning my complaint.^(A)
2 Then the Lord answered me and said:
Write the vision;
    make it plain on tablets,
    so that a runner may read it.^(B)
3 For there is still a vision for the appointed time;
    it speaks of the end and does not lie.
If it seems to tarry, wait for it;
    it will surely come; it will not delay.^(C)
4 Look at the proud!
    Their spirit is not right in them,
    but the righteous live by their faithfulness.^(D)
