Habakkuk 2:2-4
New International Reader's Version
The Lord Replies to Habakkuk
2 The Lord replies,
“Write down the message I am giving you.
Write it clearly on the tablets you use.
Then a messenger can read it
and run to announce it.
3 The message I give you
waits for the time I have appointed.
It speaks about what is going to happen.
And all of it will come true.
It might take a while.
But wait for it.
You can be sure it will come.
It will happen when I want it to.
4 “The Babylonians are very proud.
What they want is not good.
“But the person who is godly
will live by his faithfulness.
