For there is yet a vision for the appointed time;
    it will give witness to the end, and it will not lie.
If it tarries, wait for it,
    for it will surely come and not delay.
Look! His spirit within him is puffed up;
    it is not upright.
    But the righteous shall live by his faithfulness.
How much less[a] the defiant;[b]
    the arrogant, treacherous man?
He who broadens his throat like Sheol,
    and who, like death, is not satisfied,
and who gathers to himself all the nations,
    and harvested for himself all the peoples,
    will not succeed.
