Habakkuk 2:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ What I will show to you must happen at the time that I have decided. That is a future time, but it will certainly happen, as I have said. It may not happen very soon, but you must be patient. What I show to you will certainly happen at the right time, so wait for it.

⁴ Look now! The enemy is very proud. They do not want to do what is right.^[a] But righteous people will live because of their faith in God.

⁵ Wine will destroy that proud enemy.^[b] They do not stop attacking other people. They never have enough for themselves. They are like death that is so hungry that it eats as much as it can. The deep hole of death eats everything. The cruel enemy is like that! They want all the nations to belong to them. They catch everyone to be their prisoners.
