Habakkuk 2:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible

2 1 A vision. 5 Against pride, covetousness, drunkenness, and idolatry.

1 I will stand upon my [a]watch, and set me upon the tower, and will look and see what he would say unto me, and what I shall answer to him that rebuketh me.

2 And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run [b]that readeth it.

3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the [c]last it shall speak and not lie: though it tarry, wait: for it shall surely come, and shall not stay.
