Habakkuk 2:2-4
New American Standard Bible

2 Then the Lord answered me and said,
“(A)Write down the vision
And inscribe it clearly on tablets,
So that one who [a]reads it may run.
3 For the vision is yet for the (B)appointed time;
It [b]hurries toward the goal and it will not [c]fail.
Though it delays, (C)wait for it;
For it will certainly come, it (D)will not delay long.

4 “Behold, as for the (E)impudent one,
His soul is not right within him;
But the (F)righteous one will live by his [d]faith.

    and will not delay.(E)

4 “See, the enemy is puffed up;

    but the righteous person(F) will live by his faithfulness[c](G)—

Habakkuk 2:2-4
King James Version

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

3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
