Habakkuk 2:3-5

Good News Translation

^3 (A)Put it in writing, because it is not yet time for it to come true. But the time is coming quickly, and what I show you will come true. It may seem slow in coming, but wait for it; it will certainly take place, and it will not be delayed. ^4 (B)And this is the message: ‘Those who are evil will not survive,^[a] but those who are righteous will live because they are faithful to God.’”

Doom on the Unrighteous

⁵ Wealth is deceitful. Greedy people are proud and restless—like death itself they are never satisfied. That is why they conquer nation after nation for themselves.
