Habakkuk 2:2-4
Common English Bible

The Lord responds

2 Then the Lord answered me and said,

Write a vision, and make it plain upon a tablet
    so that a runner can read it.[a]
3         There is still a vision for the appointed time;
            it testifies to the end;
                it does not deceive.[b]
    If it delays, wait for it;
        for it is surely coming; it will not be late.
4 Some people’s desires are truly audacious;[c]
            they don’t do the right thing.
        But the righteous person will live honestly.

    and will not delay.(E)

4 “See, the enemy is puffed up;
