Habakkuk 2:1-3
International Standard Version
Habakkuk Waits for God’s Answer
2 “I will stand at my guard post
and station myself on a tower.
I will wait and see what the Lord[a] will say about me
and what I[b] will answer when he reprimands me.[c]”
God’s Reply to the Prophet’s Complaint
2 When he answered, the Lord told me:
“Write out the revelation,
engraving it clearly on the tablets,
so that a courier may run with it.[d]
3 For the revelation pertains to an appointed time—
it speaks truthfully[e] about the end.
Though it delays, wait for it,
because it will surely come about—
it will not be late!
