Habakkuk 2:2-3
New American Standard Bible 1995
2 Then the Lord answered me and said,
“(A)Record the vision
And inscribe it on tablets,
That [a]the one who [b]reads it may run.
3 “For the vision is yet for the (B)appointed time;
It [c]hastens toward the goal and it will not [d]fail.
Though it tarries, (C)wait for it;
For it will certainly come, it (D)will not delay.

The Voice
Eternal One (to Habakkuk): 2 Write down this vision.
Write it clearly on tablets, so that anyone who reads it may run.
3 For the vision points ahead to a time I have appointed;
it testifies regarding the end, and it will not lie.
Even if there is a delay, wait for it.
It is coming and will come without delay.[a]

The Lord’s Second Reply
2 Then the Lord said to me,
“Write my answer plainly on tablets,
so that a runner can carry the correct message to others.
3 This vision is for a future time.
It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled.
If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently,
for it will surely take place.
It will not be delayed.
